Carlo is exactly right (except that 1A=1 isn't really "useful" -- how is it
useful to ordinary users?). If you lose DocInfo, no big deal really, BUT if
you save any Help file with VA$1A=1, you WILL destroy it, no ifs ands or buts.
(You can fix it, if you know what you're doing, but there is really **no
reason** to ever change the 1A default, except in a *program* that changes the
default momentarily to perform some operation below EOF, then immediately
restores 1A=0. U2 frame DEL26 does this, to remove an EOF character in an
imported non-XyWrite file. And there are a few other frames that do it,
notably in v118 forthcoming, but darned if I can think of any everyday reason
to set 1A=1. Very dangerous.)
