  96. against a group of tagged files.
  97.  
  98. When running a program against a group of tagged files a ~ may be used
  99. as  the  first  character  of the program spec. to make FFF pause after
  100. each execution of the user specified program.
  101.  
  102. FF2  and FFF may now be interrupted during the search by pressing the
  103. ESC key.
  104.  
  105. Added  the  /4  command  line  option to tell FF2 and FFF to also search
  106. the 4DOS/Ndos description text for specified keywords.
  107.  
  108. Added ALT-V hot key to move highlighted files.
