 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]
+
+

   large/slow directory reads, it is handly to temporarily turn off

+Built-in variables are most often used when manually entering commands

+Of course, the full form is also fine as well.

+.B This "shortcut" feature is only supported in RUNCMD!!!
+Configuration file entries must use the full form of all built-in
+variables.  This is a conscious design decision to help enforce
+some consistency and clarity in the configuration files.

 Unless you have set the MAXMENU option to 0, RUNCMD keeps track of
 your last manually entered command and presents it as a default when
 you press RUNCMD again.  You can then run the command again exactly
