- We've noticed now that *every* time you hit `>' from the Options menu
- to save your options in elmrc, Elm prepends the user's personal
- weedout list with a copy of all the options in the global elm.rc. If
- you do this three or four times, your weedout list becomes too long to
- enter Elm, and you have to edit elmrc manually. No other elmrc option
- appears to be adversely affected by `>'.
-
- Our environment is a DECstation 5000/240 with Ultrix 4.2a and Elm 2.4
- PL6.
