In response to a few requests, I've moved a couple of maybe useful programs
up to MC: VAX; which may be FTP'd provided you let me know that you've done
it and how the programs work out.

MC: VAX; BRDCST MAR is a simple broadcast handler.  It is meant to be
spawned/nowait.  All it does is take broadcast messages and stuff them at
the bottom of the screen.  On an Ambassador, it does this with a ZPUSH
command so that it doesn't need to know the display size.  On other
terminals it just goes to line 24.  Change the switch at the beginning
before assembling.

REDO FOR is a command line editor for Ambassadors.  It may be modifiable
for VT132's and other terminals with a transmit mode.  To use it, you
just run it, and it grabs the screen, picks out lines starting with "$ "
and lets you edit and redo one of them.  Also useful for picking one line
out of a COM file.

SNPSHT FOR simply instructs the Ambassador to send the screen back to the
host and stuffs it into a specified file.
