[net.micro.cpm] How Does Wordstar Work - the 'r' command.

burton@fortune.UUCP (Philip Burton) (12/27/83)

How does the 'r' command work in Wordstar V3.x?

Why can't a cpm 'submit' work properly.  Does WS do its own submit.  If so,
it doesn't leave behind a $$$.sub file, if my system is rebooted before the
return from the cp/m command back to WS.

Is the 's' spelstar command just a special purpose 'r' command?  Could Spelstar
be operated from the 'r' command?  

Could WS be patched by replacing SPELSTAROVR (about location 1000h) with DU
to any command name, and get that command run off the 's' command?

Is all of WS.COM cleared out of RAM when an 'r' command (or SPELSTAR) is
invoked?

Also, my version of XDIR3 (1.5) running on straight vanilla cp/m doesn't work
properly when run from 'r'.
