7*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	to xterm.  By default, it runs the shell, rc, but it works with
8*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	any interactive program, e.g. hoc.  Within the window,
9*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	commands executed with button 2 are 'executed' by sending
10*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	their text to the standard input of the command, appending
11*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	a newline if necessary.
12*37da2899SCharles.Forsythnew command
13*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	Run the non-interactive command, placing its standard and
14*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	diagnostic output in a new window.
15*37da2899SCharles.Forsythaspell file
16*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	Run spell on the file, labeling the output with addresses so
17*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	misspelled words can be found in context using button 3.
18*37da2899SCharles.Forsythadiff file1 file2
19*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	Run diff on the files, labeling the output with addresses so
20*37da2899SCharles.Forsyth	changes can be found in context using button 3.
