MW_C documentation anomalies:
P.417: v_meta_write should read v_write_meta
P.454: od [-bcdox] ....
-x is not documented...?
-b is this correct considering -x ?
P.186: -VASM refers to "-VLINES option, described below,"... Hmmm, low
enough it fell off the page...?
(might as well write in the reference to -VCSD while we're on
this page)
P.425-432: Anyone have docs on the following undocumented (other than
partial docs in help file) MSH commands?:
. comfile
chmod mode file [...]
drvprs [-q] drive
inherit variable ...
lc (I use this instead of 'ls' in my PROFILE)
mousehidden
mshversion
OK, I know about the last few, but I was on a roll...

Allows a sub-shell to inherit a variable set in its parent shell. >> lc (I use this instead of 'ls' in my PROFILE) An alias for ls -w in msh. >> mousehidden Returns the number of times the mouse has been hidden. Under "GEM" the mouse must be "restored" as many times as it was hidden before it will reappear. >> mshversion prints the current version of msh. BTW, I don't use msh. I much prefer Gulam. Gulam's aliasing facility is, in my opinion, superior. Plus, it has an emacs editor built in, and command line editing. Just my preference's. -- Mark A.
