And easy to get rid of, too. For example, with program ZAP26 in Jumbo U2. Just be
careful not to zap the EndOfFile char (Ascii-26) if you use Document InfOrmation
(VAriable IO=1 -- you can poll the value on your system with "va/nv IO") or if
you're SToring Help files, because DocInfo and Help indices are compiled and stored
right after the EOF character. They're never displayed (because XyW displays only
up to the EOF char) -- but they're there in fact, and they're necessary.
