TODO: 'eventhandler' still doesn't work for 68k, I think it's an interface
problem. Typing on the end of the soft wrapping section seems to propogate
carriage returns.
Things to do (feel free to volunteer):
• Build on the browser mode to make a file/directory browser.
================================================================================
= 6.12 2-15-96
================================================================================

greater than 32k).

================================================================================
= 6.1 2-1-96
================================================================================
• Added '.' and '\' to list of chars escaped for non-grep batch searches.

current line).
