_T_a_b_l_e _o_f _C_o_n_t_e_n_t_s

     On page ii under _S_u_m_m_a_r_y _T_a_b_l_e_s change _O_p_e_n _a_n_d _v_i_s_u_a_l _t_a_r_g_e_t_s to _O_p_e_n
_a_n_d _v_i_s_u_a_l _o_p_e_r_a_t_i_o_n_s.

_C_r_a_s_h _R_e_c_o_v_e_r_y

     It is no longer true that you must have had a  current  file  name  to
recover after a crash; files with no name are arbitrarily named ``LOST''.

     Also note that if the system crashes you will  receive  mail  when  it
comes  up  telling you of the name of the file saved for you if you were in
the editor.

_F_i_l_e _c_o_m_m_a_n_d

     The _f_i_l_e command description should begin ``The current filename'' not
``The  current  file''  as  the editor does not have a current file, only a
current filename associated with a buffer.

_V_i_s_u_a_l _C_o_m_m_a_n_d

     The _v_i_s_u_a_l command may take a trailing count indicating the number  of
lines  to  be used (physical) in the window.  The default for this count is
the value of the _w_i_n_d_o_w option.

_V_i_s_u_a_l _O_p_e_r_a_t_i_o_n_s

     The operations ``e'', ``E'', ``<'' and ``>''  are  implemented  unless
you are on a machine without separate I/D space (Evans "D" system) in which
case the features ``0CTRL(d)'' and ``^CTRL(d)'' with _a_u_t_o_i_n_d_e_n_t in _o_p_e_n and
_v_i_s_u_a_l also don't work.

_E_x _m_a_n_u_a_l _s_e_c_t_i_o_n

     Add the following bugs:

     Lines which are _c_h_a_n_g_e_d or _j_o_i_n_e_d lose marks; it would be  better  for
     the marks to be attached to the (first) new line.

     There should be an option for maintaining a perfectly clean screen  in
     _v_i_s_u_a_l and open on very fast (or intelligent) terminals.

_T_t_y_c_a_p _d_a_t_a _b_a_s_e

     In the descripton of the ttycap data base, change ``set and  cleared''
to ``cleared and set'' in the second line of the third paragraph.  Refer to
stty (II) for more information about the flags described in this paragraph.
