In the original version, hard-coded superscript numbers were left in the text to mark the places where footnotes had been. In a revision uploaded last night (Jumbo U2 v090), you get a choice: non-printing LaBels (the new default), superscript numbers or no markers at all. Compare DumpFN, which dumps footnotes into a separate window without in any way modifying the source file. With the appropriate argument, DumpFN (aka Dumpem) will perform the same operation on other embedded commands (LaBels, NoTes, IVs, anything). Two other footnote routines are worth remembering: FindFN # takes you directly to any footnote, and SEFN [search_string] searches for the target string within footnotes only.
