There are quite a few other numeric DTs. And there are FUNCtions
that, alone or in combination, will change the DT of the current
file without touching the default setting; they are funcs XP, WG,
SP, WZ, MK, and NM. U2 routine SETDT pulls them all together,
mnemonically.

Also, remember that you can open a file in a specified display type
(again, without changing the default DT) with CAll/# or REad/#
filename, where # is the desired DT number. The only wrinkle is
that to open a file in eXPanded view, you have to use CA/100, not
CA/0.

No, Jon Inggs had it right the other day. NoTes and InVisible
deltas work as well as well as LaBels -- serve as holders of non-
printing text, that is.

All of the above applies to Xy4 and later, by the way. IVs, but not
NTs, work in Xy3.
