"Filec" is broken (and has always been broken at SR10), though HPollo
claims that it works as of SR10.2 - well, it does work, but you have to
use the "rprnt" key (^R by default, but we change it to ^_ since ^R is
used to redraw the screen in vi on terminals where ^L is used for cursor
right) to see the completed line. We have given up on this being fixed,
and don't use it, though many users want it (must be "performing to
specification" :-) ). I have an APR from SR10.0 on this one.
