- ------------
-
- - Include files (from disk) into the text.

- file name as the new buffer name.
- - The menu entry "close all" (in the "file" menu) enables you
- to close all windows

- not closed. A "Quit program" is cancelled in that case (to
- enable you to save the file).

-
- - Support of an arbitrary number of GEM windows
- - When the replace feature was used with the verify option set to
- Yes, the program stopped at the first occurrence and waited for a
