Msg: Re: preventing lines from printing with substitution tables

I've never seen ≪iv≫ as a documented xy3 command, but I tried it. The line disappears from the screen (visible only in expanded mode), which unfortunately doesn't serve my purpose. But thanks.

John,
≪IV...≫ doesn't work? Carl was negating only ≪NT...≫ for Xy3.

Harry wouldn't know I'm xy3, but thanks all, I think I must have
mis-remembered. There's no apparent way in xy3, either through
substitution tables or in-page coding, to prevent lines from
printing. All I probably did was turn off null code printing and used
those codes to mark searchable portions of the text-- not exactly a high
achievement(!)

NT is Xy4 only.
