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