-> The DEADLINE routine in SMARTSET takes a start date argument,
-> then Enter, then a deadline date argument, then Enter.
                     -Bob Brody, Tue, 17 Dec 96

Actually, the syntax is DEADLINE m1/d1/y1,m2/d2/y2. Both dates
are "entered" (via the Helpkey) on a single pass.

(I recently rewrote DEADLINE and related routines using a more
streamlined, faster algorithm. It will be included in the next
release of SmartSet, but I attach it below for anyone interested.)

SmartSet is indeed unremittingly, unrepentingly command-driven -- my
personal preference. I've considered adding a menu interface for some
routines, but ... vita brevis.

On second thought, there _is_ one menu-oriented routine. HLIST puts
out a sorted list of all framenames (or a user-specified subset
thereof) from any Help file. The list is an Untitled file, which can
be SEarched, edited, etc., like any other text file. There is
provision for point-and-shoot execution of any frame, directly from the
list. 


Here's the new DEADLINE (UU):
