  29.                          under the Run option of WordStar and
  30.                          possibly with some other programs that
  31.                          normally allow calling up external
  32.                          programs.  For the same reason, it
  33.                          cannot be automatically reinvoked using
  34.                          the F3 key when at the DOS command
