This is a description of the anomaly corrections and enhancements that appear

Cond"
(.CW) now controls the character spacing for daisy wheel printers.
Form Feed (^PL) with Repeat Prior Find Replace (^L) in document no longer
gives screen registration, line/page number errors.

files without re-editing. (.LQ affects fonts selected by ^A, ^N, .CW...)
^QT now deletes past characters with high bits set.

Inline Update #092
Anomaly Corrections and Enhancements Description
INLINE DESCRIPTION:
The improvements and corrections highlighted below are specific to the differ-
ences between the Inline/#091 and the Inline/#092 and how they will
effect the single user.

files to reside on the R/O program drive but font files to be created on
the R/W shared drive.

the front of each soft font file is now transferred correctly into the

development.

the file in window #1.

found the program would halt.
