****** IMPORTANT NOTE *****

As of this release, several configuration keywords have changed:

  The delimiters for the PROMPT and YESNO features have changed
  from [] to {}.

  The WILDCARD= option is no longer supported (or relevant).
  Two new options, WILDFILTER = and WILDSELECT=, have replaced it.

Existing configurations files that use these will have to be changed
to reflect this.


BUG FIXES

- Fixed longstanding problem that prompt strings within PROMPT and
  YESNO builtins were not preserved as written by the user.
  Previously, multiple spaces were replaced with a single space.  This
  is now fixed, and both prompts and the new default feature will be
  preserved exactly as written.

- It was previously possible to create a circular .include chain.
  This is now explicitly checked for and prevented.

- Previously, if you used the -t command line option to suppress
  quoting and then reloaded a configuration file, quoting would go
  back to its default behavior (quoting with the " character).  Now,
  specifying -t suppresses quoting, even after a configuration reload.


CHANGES

- Changed the behavior of forced clearing with AFTERCLEAR option.
  Previously this deselected all active selections AND repositioned
  cursor to top of directory listing.  This was inconvenient with a
  large directory list.  Behavior now is to only clear active
  selections.  Cursor is left at approximately the same location in
  the displayed list.

- Variable references are now evaluated at command *execution* time.
  (Previously they were evaluated at command definition time).  This
  was done to make it possible to include variable references
  within PROMPT and YESNO operations that would not be evaluated
  until the command was actually run.

- File lengths are now normalized for files > 1KB, 1MB, and 1GB.
  Previously files less than 1MB were shown as actual length and files
  greater than 1GB were expressed in MB.  These normalized lengths
  are now more accurately rounded than they were previously.

- A new option, ACTUALLENGTH (Default: False), can be set to display
  actual rather than normalized file lengths.  This can be toggled
  with a new key binding, TOGLENGTH (Default: Control-0).

- File and drive (Win32 Drive List View) lengths are now displayed
  right-justified within their respective fields.  This makes both
  normalized and actual length displays easier to read.

- The MOUSEWILD key binding has been renamed to MOUSEWILDSEL.  This
  will have no effect on configuration files since mouse bindings
  cannot be changed.

- Selection by wildcard is now case-insensitive on Win32 by
  default.  This can be changed with the WILDNOCASE option.

- Debug option Bit 8 (0x100) now dumps the content of both the
  Filtering and Selection wildcard lists as they change.


NEW FEATURES

- Added ability to insert a default value for PROMPT and YESNO
  builtins.  Syntax is: [BUILTIN:prompt text==>default text].  For
  YESNO, the default text can only be "Yes" or "No" (case-
  insensitive).  

  The default separator string, "==>" can be changed by setting the
  new DEFAULTSEP option variable.   Be careful to not use
  any of the characters, []{}, in this delimiter string.  The
  program will get confused since it sees these as variable/builtin
  delimiters.

- Added support for "Execution Variables".  These are similar to Unix
  shell "backtick" references.  You do this in one of two forms:

      var = [`command string`]

         Sets var to string returned by executing "command string".
         Any terminating newline is stripped off.


      var = [`-command string`]

         Sets var to string returned by executing "command string".
         *All* newlines are replaced with spaces.

- It is now possible to embed variable references inside PROMPT
  and YESNO builtins. For example, you can do things like:

       PROMPT = New File Name?
       r rename mv [SELECTION] {PROMPT:[PROMPT]==>[SELECTION]}

  This brings up a prompt with a default of the filename to
  be renamed - this allows you to modify the existing name easily,
  without having to type the whole name in.

  You can embed references to  execution variables, builtin variables,
  user variables, and environment variables anywhere within 
  PROMPT or YESNO constructs.

  Note that because variables are now resolved when the command is
  actually run, execution variables are evaluated anew *each time*
  a command is run:

       c count echo [`ls | wc`]

  To the keep the parser reasonably sane, the delimiters for PROMPT
  and YESNO have changed from [] to {}

  NOTE:  Existing configuration files will have to be changed.
         The older [PROMPT ...] and [YESNO ...] forms are no
         longer supported.

- It is now possible to use a wildcard to "filter" which files are
  displayed in a given directory.  This is helpful when a directory
  contains many files, but you are only interested in a subset of
  them.

     The rules are the same as for selection wildcards.  By default,
     the string you enter can appear anywhere in the displayed line
     for the filter to declare a match.  You can escape this by
     prepending a double-quote to your filter expression.  In that
     case, your entry is treated literally as the wildcard
     specification used for matching.

     This feature is invoked with new key binding, FILTERWILD
     (Control-=).

     The filter is reset when directory is changed or on a REFRESH
     (Control-l).

     The filter is applied to entire line in detailed view or just the
     filename otherwise.

     Note that *selection* by wildcard scans the currently-displayed
     list of files and selects them, but *filtering* by wildcard scans
     the *entire list of files in the current directory*, displaying
     only those that match.

     The filter is never applied to the ".." entry.  That is, the the ".."
     entry always appears regardless of the wildcard filter in effect.

     The old Wildcard menu has been replaced by the Filter (Accel:
     Alt-f) and Selection (Accel: Alt-t) menus that track wildcards
     used for filtering and selection separately.

     The WILDCARD= configuration statement has been replaced by the
     WILDFILTER= and WILDSELECT= statements.  These are used to
     preload the Filter and Selection menus respectively.

     A new mouse binding, MOUSEWILDFILTER (Alt-Control-MiddleButton)
     has been added to popup the Filter menu near the current mouse
     position.

     A new filter wildcard is always applied against the *entire* directory
     list, not just what is currently displayed.

     Filter logic can be inverted with TOGFILT (Control-minus) key.
     Supported by INVERTFILTER (Default: False) option. Sets initial state.

     Wildcard filters are case-insensitive on Win32 by default and
     case- sensitive on all other systems.  This can be overriden with
     the WILDNOCASE option.  Escaped wildcard specifications are
     always treated literally regardless of this option's setting.
     


twander 3.160  (1-12-2005):
===========================

BUG FIXES

- The keybinding definitions for the History and Wildcard mouse popup
  menus were missing.  MOUSEHIST and MOUSEWILD are now defined.  Like
  all other MOUSE bindings, these cannot be overriden by the user.

- The program would lockup when browsing a piece of removeable media,
  if the media was then removed.  The refresh logic now catches this
  error and resets the view to the starting directory in this case.
  This is not foolproof.  The program will still lockup in this case
  if the starting directory itself is no longer readable - i.e., It to
  is (was) on a piece of removed media, for example.

- The copyright symbol that appears in the About menu and command line
  help was not portable.  Changed to a textual equivalent "(c)".

- Quite a bit of formatting cleanup in the documentation, especially
  the HTML version.


CHANGES

- In previous versions, symbolic links were always treated as files
  for purposes of sorting, if a "separated" sort (of directories and
  files) was requested (the default).  Symbolic links that point to
  directories are now sorted as directories in this case.  If you
  prefer the old style behavior, set the new option, SYMDIR, to False.

- Since version 3.146, 'twander' commands could be defined or entered
  to force a refresh when the command completes (by placing a '+'
  symbol as the first character of the command).  As of this release,
  this feature also clears all active selections and repositions the
  cursor under the first entry on the screen ("..").  This was done
  because commands requesting screen refresh presumably do something
  that changes the content of the currently viewed directory (such as
  a file delete).  In this case, the active selections may not make
  sense any longer.  A new option, AFTERCLEAR, can be set to False to
  revert to the old behavior that just did the refresh and left the
  active selections alone.

- The internal variable that sets the GUI polling interval (POLLINT)
  has been changed from a nominal 20ms to 250ms.  This is the interval
  at which the program checks to see whether or not it is time to
  reread the current directory if AUTOREFRESH is enabled.

- In previous versions, if AUTOREFRESH was enabled, the program would
  attempt to reread the current directory every REFRESHINT ms
  (nominal).  This could be a problem on very large/slow directory
  reads (such as optical media) because as soon as one refresh was
  done, it would be time for another.  This effectively locked the
  program up because it was constantly doing directory reads leaving
  no time for user interaction.  With this release, the refresh
  interval is "adaptive" by default.  Each directory refresh time is
  measured and the refresh interval is dynamically adjusted to reflect
  the actual amount of time needed to read a given directory.  The
  refresh interval is then "stretched" a bit, to give you time to
  interact with the directory before another refresh begins.  In no
  case will this value ever be less than the value of REFRESHINT.  A
  new option, ADAPTREFRESH, enables this feature by default.  If
  ADAPTREFRESH is set to False, then the program reverts to its old
  behavior of stictly observing the REFRESHINT interval.


NEW FEATURES

- Added the FORCEUNIXPATH option.  If set to True, it forces the use
  of the Unix path separator character ("/") when substituting
  Built-In Variable and Program Memory references in command
  definitions.  This is handy when running Unix tools like cygwin
  under Windows.  This option is only observed on Windows systems; it
  is ignored on other OS platforms.

- Previous versions primed the Directory menu with the user's
  Directory Shortcut definition(s).  This behavior is no longer present.
  Instead there is a separate Shortcut menu on the menubar that
  displays these values as well as several other shortcuts to go to
  up, back, home, and to the starting and root directories
  respectively.  A new mouse popup keybinding, MOUSESC
  has been defined as Control-Button3 so that this
  menu can be popped up at the current pointer location.
  On Windows systems using the Win32All extensions, an entry
  for a Drive List also appears in the Shortcut menu.

- Added ability to pop-up the Sorting Menu with Alt-Shift-Button3.
  Added the MOUSESORT key binding to define this.


twander 3.146  (3-11-2004):
===========================

BUG FIXES

- In previous versions, a redefinition of a particular command key
  would cause old and new versions of the definition to appear in the
  Command Menu.  This has been fixed.  Now only the command defintion
  that is actually active (the last one that appears in the
  configuration file) appears in the Command Menu.

- Entries in the Command Menu now appear strictly in the order of
  their definition in the configuration file.  This was not always the
  case in previous releases.

- Help and Debug output is now consistently sorted.


CHANGES

- The title bar no longer has a separate entry to indicate reverse
  sorts.  Instead, when sorting is reversed, the field name being used
  as the sort key has a '-' appended to it.  This was done to make
  the title bar less cluttered and of reasonable length.

- The directory path displayed on the title bar is now limited to
  60 characters.  Paths longer than this are truncated to the last
  60 characters and "..." is prepended to the result to indicate
  that a partial path is being displayed.  This was done because
  some systems, notably Win32, have very long path names.  Moving
  to these directories caused the other status information to the
  right on the title bar to be lost.


NEW FEATURES

- The RUNCMD feature (default: Control-z) gives you to enter 
  commands "on-the-fly".  It has always been possible to
  make reference to built-in, user-defined, and environment
  variables (via the "[vblname]" mechanism) when entering
  commands manually.  The most common use of this feature is
  to include a reference to the current directory or item(s)
  selected in the GUI as a part of the manual command.  For
  instance entering:

    less [DSELECTIONS]

  will let you page through all the files you currently have
  selected.

  Since this is used fairly often, "shortcut" forms for many of the
  builtins have been implemented.  You can enter either the full
  variable name reference or its shortcut when using RUNCMD.  This is
  ***only*** for RUNCMD.  Configuration files still require the full
  name to be used.  This was an intentional design choice to keep the
  configurations consistent and readable.

  Here are the new shortcuts you can use in RUNCMD:

       [D]  for  [DIR]
       [DN] for  [DSELECTION]
       [DS] for  [DSELECTIONS]
       [SN] for  [SELECTION]
       [SS] for  [SELECTIONS]
       [1]  for  [MEM1]
       [2]  for  [MEM2]
       [3]  for  [MEM3]
       [4]  for  [MEM4]
       [5]  for  [MEM5]
       [6]  for  [MEM6]
       [7]  for  [MEM7]
       [8]  for  [MEM8]
       [9]  for  [MEM9]
       [10] for  [MEM10]
       [11] for  [MEM11]
       [12] for  [MEM12]

              


- The TOGAUTO Key (Default: Control-o) has been added to allow you to
  toggle Autorefreshing on- and off.  When working with very
  large/slow directory reads, it is handly to temporarily turn off
  refreshing (and do it manually as needed with the Refresh - Default:
  Control-l) key.  This is simpler than changing and reloading the
  configuration file each time you want Autorefreshing disabled.

- The current state of Autofreshing is now displayed on the main
  window title bar.

- You can now force a display refresh after a command is executed
  by placing the REFRESHAFTER symbol (default: '+') at the beginning
  of your command string in the configuration file.  This also
  works when entered manually via RUNCMD (default: Control-z).
  This will take place regardless the current AUTOREFRESH setting.

- A new user-settable option variable, AFTERWAIT (default: 1) has
  been added.  This tells 'twander' how long to wait before
  initiating a display refresh requested by the REFRESHAFTER
  construct.  This gives the system AFTERWAIT seconds to complete
  the command before a display update is done.  See documentation
  for subtleties of using this feature.

- During actual refreshing - whether automatic, manual, because
  of a directory change, or because of a REFRESHAFTER demand -
  the Autorefresh state on the title bar has "*" appended to it.
  Ordinarily, this happens so fast you do not see it.  But on
  really long refreshes, the asterisk is a visual confirmation
  that the program is busy and not hung.


twander 3.135  (3-11-2003):
===========================

BUG FIXES

- Found (and fixed) last-minute bug which caused [DESELECTION]
  and [SELECTION] to be returned incorrectly when nothing was
  selected in the UI.


twander 3.134  (3-11-2003):
===========================

BUG FIXES

- Fixed a problem which caused User-Defined Commands to be processed
  with the CMDSHELL option when such commands were re-invoked via the
  Command History.  The program now properly applies CMDSHELL
  processing (if enabled) *only* to manually entered commands.

- Previous version allowed FONTDECR to set font sizes to 0 or even
  negative values.  Feature is now checked to make sure a font size is
  never decremented below 1.


CHANGES

- USETHREADS is now False by default.  Thread implementations
  vary so much from system to system it seemed smarter to
  make their use a conscious decision.

- The default for REFRESHINT is now 5000 (up from 3000) which
  should make the program work a bit more smoothly "out of the
  box" on slower systems and X connections.

- The About box on the Help Menu now displays the 'twander'
  web site information.

- Quite a bit of new material added to the GOTCHAS section of
  the documentation.

- Boolean Options are now shown as "True" or "False" rather than
  1 or 0 in the relevant Help Menu and Debug output.

- Nothing pre-selected now when entering a new directory. Previously,
  the first item ("..") was always selected.  This prevents accidental
  navigation on slow/unresponsive systems or X-Windows connections
  where you can type faster than the screen can update.

- The MAXDIR, MAXDIRBUF, MAXHIST, and MAXHISTBUF options have been
  removed.  These are replaced by the new MAXMENU and MAXMENUBUF
  options which control the depth and display of *all* menus
  with dynamic content.

- User-Defined Variables, Directory Shortcuts, and Command Definitions
  can now be redefined within the same Configuration File.  This was
  done to better exploit the new conditional operators and the new
  ".include" directive in the configuration language.  Now you
  can maintain a "standard" configuration which everyone on the system 
  can ".include", but anything in that configuration can be redefined
  locally with your own configuration statements.

- A blank Right Hand Side is now permitted for all Option Statements.
  It means that the statement in question is simply ignored.  This was
  done to make Option Statements consistent with Directory Shortcut
  and User-Defined Variable Statements, both of which allow a blank
  RHS.

- Because the RHS of a String Option can now be blank, the ""
  construct is no longer necessary to disable CMDSHELL.  An entry in
  the form 'CMDSHELL = ' will do.  

  VERY IMPORTANT: if for some reason you have a line like 'CMDSHELL =
  ""' in your Configuration File, remove it!  Otherwise a pair of
  double-quotes will be prepended to every RUNCMD you issue - almost
  certainly not what you want.

- The "escape" character to escape (defeat) CMDSHELL processing has
  been changed from \ to ".  This was done for two reasons.
  First, the backslash character may occasionally be necessary to
  escape the first letter of a command string.  More importantly, the
  " is used to escape for the new Wildcard feature.  CMDSHELL was
  thus changed so both features which permit "escapes" would use the
  same character for consistency.

- The Free Space and Total Space of each drive in Drive List View
  are now shown in separate columns to make sorting order clearer.

- The FreeBSD port Makefile has been cleaned up and updated.


NEW FEATURES

- Wildcard-Based Selection

  It is now possible to select items using a user-specified wildcard
  with the SELWILD feature. (default: Control-\) This feature makes
  the full power of Python regular expressions available for selecting
  the items desired.  You may enter any literal text *or any
  legitimate Python regular expression* in the SELWILD dialog and all
  lines with matching expressions will be selected.  (Note that the
  "wildcards" used here are *not* the same thing as the standard Unix
  shell wildcard "globbing" used for naming files.)  For example, if
  you enter: \.exe  all files or directories which have the string
  ".exe" somewhere on their display line will be selected.  SELWILD
  will never include ".." in any wildcard-based selection even if
  that entry matches the regular expression.

  By default, SELWILD will select an entry when your regular
  expression matches *anything on the displayed line*.  This allows
  you to make selections based on any visible column of information.
  Of course, if you have details turned off, the check for matching
  will be done only against the file or directory name (since that's
  all that is visible).  

  This "match anywhere on the line" semantic is possible because
  SELWILD automatically massages the regular expression you provide to
  make any match on the line true.  There may be times when you want
  to provide very specific regular expression definitions which seek a
  match at specific locations.  In that case, you can prevent SELWILD
  from fiddling with your regular expression, by beginning it with the
  " character.  SELWILD understands this to mean that your regular
  expression is to be treated literally without modification. (It only
  throws away this leading " escape character.)

  Because regular expressions can get complicated and tedious to type
  in, any such expression you use is saved in a history available via
  the Wildcard Menu.  The menu can be invoked by clicking on its
  button, pressing Alt-w, or Alt-Control-Right-Mouse-Button.  (Note
  that on Win32 you *must* press Alt then Control then
  Right-Mouse-Button for this to work.  Win32 appears to care deeply
  about keystroke order.)

  You can also preload that menu with commonly used wildcards by
  placing multiple statements like this in your Configuration File:

          WILDCARD = some-regular-expression

  These will appear in the Wildcard Menu in the order they were
  defined.  Bear in mind that only the first MAXMENU number of items
  will actually appear in the Wildcard Menu.  Again, SELWILD will
  check the first character of your regular expression and "escape" it
  if that character is ".

  There is a new debug bit which will display the Wildcard stack as it
  changes.

- Advanced Sorting Options

  You can now sort by any of the detail columns *whether or not
  details are currently displayed*. Shift-F1 sorts by the leftmost
  column, Shift-F2 sorts by the second from left column, and so forth.
  Shift-F10 selects no sorting which means items will be displayed in
  the order they are reported by the operating system.  Shift-F11
  reverses the sort order, and Shift-F12 toggles whether or not
  directories and files should be separated when sorting and
  displaying.  These sort options are also available via a new Sort
  Menu which can be opened by clicking on its menu button or pressing
  Alt-s.  There is no mouse shortcut for sorting options.

  The current sort parameters are displayed on the Titlebar and
  the name of the sort key field is automatically adjusted 
  depending on whether you are in Normal or Drive List View.

  You can set your desired default sorting order via three new
  options in the Configuration File.

    Option          Default       Possible Values

    ---------------------------------------------

    SORTBYFIELD     Name          No Sort, Permissions, Links,
                                  Owner, Group, Length,
                                  Time, Name

    SORTREVERSE     False         True, False

    SORTSEPARATE    True          True, False


- Conditional Processing Of Configuration File Statements

  It is now possible to include or exclude statements in the
  Configuration File based on certain conditions.  This makes it easy
  to maintain a single such file that works across all the different
  operating systems and with many different users.

  A Condition Block begins with a Condition Test Statement and ends
  with '.endif'. If the Condition Test evaluates to be True, all the
  lines up to the matching '.endif' are included in the configuration.
  If False, all these lines are ignored.  Conditionals may be nested
  without limit.  'twander' keeps track of which '.endif' matches which
  Condition Test Statement.  Like all Configuration File entries,
  whitespace is ignored when processing Conditional Statements and you
  are free to indent (or not) as you see fit.

  Condition Test Statements are one of three types:

  #####
  # Existential: True if FOO or $FOO are defined
  #####

  .if [FOO]
     ...
  .endif

  .if [$FOO]
     ...
  .endif

  #####
  # Equality: True if FOO or $FOO are literally
  # the same as the test-string
  #####

  .if [FOO] == test-string
        ...
  .endif

  .if [$FOO] == test-string
        ...
  .endif

  #####
  # Inequality: True if FOO or $FOO are literally
  # not the same as the test-string
  #####

  .if [FOO] != test-string
        ...
  .endif

  .if [$FOO] != test-string
        ...
  .endif

  
  Note that the test always depends first on a *variable reference*
  ([FOO], never just FOO), but that the Right Hand Side of
  an in/equality test is just a string comparsion - no variable
  expansion is done.  This will not work as you might expect:

  .if [FOO] == string[BAR]

  To make it easy to create conditional blocks based on the type of
  system you're running, 'twander' now automatically pre-defines two
  variables which provide information about your system:

  Variable Name     Typical Values
  --------------------------------

   .OS              nt, posix
   .PLATFORM        freebsd4, linux-i386, win32

 Note that these predefined variables also begin with a period to
 remind you of their intended role.  They will thus also sort first in
 the User-Defined Variables section of the Help Menu.

 See the example .twander file provided in the distribution for
 some extended examples of using conditinals in your Configuration
 File.

- The New ".include" Directive
 
  The configuration language now supports a means of including
  other files in your configuration.  This makes it easy to, say,
  have a "standard" configuration that everyone can use as a starting
  point like this:


  .include /usr/local/etc/.twander.global

   # Your configuration lines go here


   You may have as many ".include" directives in your Configuration File
   as you like.  The only requirement is that there be whitespace between
   the directive and the filename.


 


twander 3.0  (2-17-2003):
========================

- The licensing terms have been clarified.  Non-Commercial use of the
   program is free with a $20 US per user donation recommended.
   This fee is mandatory for commercial users.

- A Quick Start introduction to 'twander' is now included in the
  distribution.  See 'READ-1ST.txt'.

- *MANY* bug fixes and code cleanup including a nasty one with
   RH linux that prevented 'twander' from opening the user's
   home directory.

- Most program features and options are now settable in the
  configuration file AND you can set your default twander command line
  arguments in an environment variable called TWANDER.

  The priority of options processing, from lowest to highest is:

             1) Defaults coded into program
             2) Options set in configuration file
             3) Options set in environment variable
             4) Options set on command line.

- The -b, -f, -n, -w, -s, -x, -y command line options have
  been removed because these options are not settable as
  options in the configuration file.

- Width/Height now default to 800 and 600 pixels respectively.
  Previous versions did not really count pixels correctly.
  You can also specify the starting position on screen in pixels.

- You can now include references to any of the variable types
  in a manually entered command line.  Syntax is the same as for
  command definitions in the configuration file.

- Various help menus have been added. 

- Command History has been implemented and is available via a new
  menu.

- There are now accelerator key and mouse shortcuts for each of the
  menus.

- A new "Directory Shortcuts" feature has been added. You can
  specify up to 12 directories which will be preloaded into
  the Directory Menu (as if you'd already visited them) AND
  you can move to each of them via one of the Function keys.

- twander debug facilities have been vastly improved. The -d
  command line argument now takes a mandatory "debug level"
  as an argument.  This is a bitfield (which can be expressed
  in either decimal or hex) in which each bit indicates a
  kind of degbug output you'd like.

- There is a new Built-In variable called [YESNO:some text].  It
  allows you to put a Yes/No popup during command execution.
  If the user presses "No", the command is aborted.

- Since Win32 file/directory names are case-insensitive,
  twander now sorts them as such.  Previously, 'ZEBRA' would
  appear before 'echo' in a twander display.

- Most previous error conditions have been changed to warnings so
  that the program is more forgiving and will keep running after
  such a condition.

- The various interactive popup dialogs allow intra-line editing
  with both the local conventions as well as emacs-style key
  editing.  This was true previously, but was not documented.

- If you are running on Win32 and have Mark Hammond's 'win32all'
  extensions installed, a number of Win32-specific features are
  enabled:

     a) You can now navigate ".." from root or use the Ctrl-k key to
        get a Drive List View of all available Win32 drives.

     b) The file/directory mode will be displayed showing Win32
        attributes.

     c) The Win32 user/group names will appear for each displayed
        item, instead of "win32user" and "win32group".

- You can now resize fonts while running 'twander' without having to
  change the respective configuration file parameters.  Two new key
  assignments have been defined to increment or decrement font size.

- You can use the CMDSHELL option to define a string that will be
  prepended to each manually entered command.  The feature is off
  by default.  If enabled, it can be suppressed by entering "\"
  as the first character in the manually entered command.  This makes
  it easy to create a default visual/GUI context for each command you
  enter manually.

- A new "Program Memory" feature is implemented which allows 'twander'
  to maintain up to 12 separate, simultaneous clipboard- like
  memories.  These memories are used to compile names of files and
  directories which you would like to subsequently processs.  There
  are 12 new corresponding Built-In Variables ([MEM1]-[MEM12]) which
  allow command definitions to access the contents of the memories

- TundraWare Inc. is now running  a 'twander-users' mailing list.
