This is valid Help-file syntax, and intentional. It ensures that Editor
applies CP 437 when loading the U2 frame index into memory. In practice
it may never make a difference, but in principle, it's important. Where
it does make a real difference is with certain printer files, e.g.,
POSTGHST.PRN or POSTGHST.PR4. They won't load unless 850 is the default
LAnguage or ;PR; is specified as the file ID. By analogy, LA 437
is U2's native code page.
