0608 - Summary/Objective
0609 -
060901 - Created new version, from 2.44.

0611 - Memory
0612 -
061201 - We spent about 3 hours trying to make the program smaller.  Got it
061202 - from 81627 down to 73579 bytes.
061203 -
061204 - It is not clear how much effect this has on actual memory usage.  We
061205 - did an experiment that shows that even for a blank file, Medit in
061206 - compiled mode takes about 120 KB when loaded into memory.
061207 -
061208 - It appears we picked up 8048 bytes, which is the exact difference
061209 - between 81627 and 73579.
061210 -
061211 - Formerly when free was executed on a blank file, we had 29707, and
061212 - 735 units used.  Now we get 30210 and 735.  The difference between
061213 - 30210 and 29707 is 8048.

0613 -
0614 - Tabsoff
0615 -
061501 - Made this the default condition, so it need not be included in
061502 - macros in order for Supersort to work.
061503 -
061504 -
0616 -
0617 - Setcolor
0618 -
061801 - Fixed this command so the color bar at the top of the screen extends
061802 - to the full width of the screen, and the annotate field also extends
061803 - the full width.
061804 -
061805 - Made a new setcolor field for the area on screen line 1 following
061806 - the CMD field.  It is field 7.  It can now be controlled so it can
061807 - be turned off along with the CMD line.
061808 -
061809 -
0619 -
0620 - Color n
0621 -
062101 - Morris added new command that makes cursor line a particular color,
062102 - until the file is closed.
062103 -
062104 - This can be used in Summaries to make the dates distinctive from the
062105 - text.

0807 - Objectives
0808 -
080801 - Morris should be able to get into program, and write a letter.
080802 -
080803 - He tried this, but we found that the number of levels necessary to
080804 - reach the Help instructions, is too great.
080805 -
080806 - Also, User needs to understand the instructions are in the current
080807 - Help screen, rather than going off for supplemental help.
