Re: Edit FootNote

[cld@xxxxxxxx (Carl Distefano)]

Maben, Manuel et al.:

Here are some finishing touches to EFN, including a Help screen.

The new U2 frame and the Help screen are encoded in two separate
blocks below. First-time users should decode the first block
(DECODE), then DeFine it and issue ADD2U2 to add
it to U2. If you've used an earlier version of EFN, please replace
it with this one, then issue LOADHELP to reload U2.

DECODE the second block (the Help screen) and CoPy it into
XYWWWEB.INF (bottom of file is OK). STore XYWWWEB.INF.
Thereafter, HELP EFN will summon the Help screen.

The basic usage is unchanged. But there are some new features,
wrinkles and tips, so please read the Help screen to take full
advantage of the revised routine.

Enjoy!
