	I was having some problems with MAKE(1) on my 780 Vax
	running 4.1BSD.  I looked in the code and found the
	statement in doname.c:
		if (p1==srchname(".DEFAULT")) {
	yet I can find NO documentation on .DEFAULT in any of
	the manuals.

	The question is, What is .DEFAULT used for.  I found
	that I could insert a command to extract SCCS files
	using a .DEFAULT rule.  What else is .DEFAULT used for?

	All help gratefully ACK prior to reciept.
