- The doc is wrong; those variables were removed. @SW and @VW weren't
- being used anywhere so we removed them for clean-up. And I changed
- the general color handling scheme, so @ATRBT and @ATRBT.PTR didn't
- have any function any more.
-
- But if you were using @ATRBT or @ATRBT.PTR in your programs, you can
- still get the same functionality with the @() function. I can't
- remember it offhand, but it's something like @ATRBT<n> becomes
- @(-11-n). I hope this helps.

- (BTW, the current update version level of AREV is 3.02. You can
- download the update from Compu$erve if you're at level 3.0.)
