 8.2.0742 AT-XY

	  Ok, now we can set the cursor, but how do we read it?

 8.2.1645 GET-DATE

          Where is SET-DATE?
	  Furthermore I think DATEs should only refer to day/month/year
	  so I suppose GET-TIME (and SET-TIME) for the sec/min/hour would be
	  better. At least it would reduce the ridiculous number of
	  stackentries.

15.1.1643 GET-CURRENT
     1647 GET-ORDER
     2195 SET-CURRENT
     2197 SET-ORDER

	  Why not use @ and ! prefixes instead of the GET- and SET-?
	  (The same would apply to 8.2.1645)

16.1.0245 /STRING

          I suppose the defintion should read:

       ...begins n characters beyond c-addr1 and is n characters shorter... 
                 ^                                  ^
          (In BASIS15 u1 is used at the ^s)
