Incidentally, our machines will be down Saturday and maybe Sunday, so don't
be surprised if you can't get through then.

I also just realized I didn't put any of \a \e \x1b \c[ \l \L \u \U \E into
the man page.  But then again, they aren't in the book, either.  :-)

I'm looking for three kinds of testing on this beta:

	1) Does it install reasonably easily?
	2) Does it break any of your existing scripts?
	3) Do the new features (see above, and the ADDENDA section in the
		man page) work the way you think they should.

Also, I haven't had a chance to write any regression tests for the new
features.  If in testing you come up with any, feel free to send them.

If you get the beta working on a particular architecture, you might post
something to that effect to save someone else from duplicating.

Thanks.

Larry
