	Something I forgot to mention in my last article was what exactly
the templates I was talking about actually mean.  Well, X means a text
field, which in other words means the kind of dialog line where you can
type any character.  P is a pathname line, like the Directory line in
the File Selector.  9 is a numeric line, where only numbers are accepted,
like the time and date fields in the Control Panel.  There are actually
a few other types, but I don't have my GEM reference guide handy.  In any
case, about the only thing the underscore won't crash on pre-Mega machines
is the F template, or the filename line (as you might have guessed, this is
the Filename line in the File Selector).
