  7. │          │          │                                                    │
  8. │          │        " │ Modified the record key dialog to include the      │

  13. │          │          │                                                    │

  24. │          │          │ The exec without swap is useful on systems without │
  25. │          │          │ EMS to prevent lengthy disk writes for commands    │

  39. │          │          │ program wrote directly to the screen memory, so    │
  40. │          │          │ that the screen will be redrawn when necessary.    │

  66. │          │          │ length to that of the master environment. This     │
