In TML Pascal II 3.0 (the MPW 3.0 / SADE 1.0 compatible version) there
was a TMON "user area" document for TMON 2.8.1 and up.  It has code to
recognize "new" symbols, though in shows only the first eight
characters (upper/lower case).  It also causes TMON to come up with
the R window and an A window initialized to start at 0000(PC).  Very
convenient.  It came on the update-without-MPW distribution (which
included, though it was not supposed to, ResEdit and MacsBug).  I
don't know whether rights in that belong to ICOM (the TMON people) or
TML.  If it's legal, I'd be happy to distribute it.

Now if only Nosy understood the new symbols...
