[about NEW_WORD.ACC and other DA text editors]

One thing to check DA editors (and other accessories that access the disks)
for, is what happens when you change the current directory while the DA is
NOT active.  Does it later get confused when you, say, ask it to save the
file where it came from?  I havn't tried (don't have) NEW_WORD and it may
well do it OK, I just suggest caution.  GNOME.ACC (which I wrote) solves the
problem by converting all file names to complete pathnames.
