As I mentioned in my posting, "standards for documenting gap source code",
there are some emacs commands at the end of some of the source files of
Gap 3. Their effect is to allow the person reading the file the option
of only reading certain lines highlighted with one the incipits listed
in the subject line of this message. Here is the code below. I posted
to gnu.emacs.help and learned about how this works. What I don't know
is what Martin Schoenert used these incipits *A *F *V *T *E to signify.
Each presumably tells something about the line it begins in the source code.
If you know what each means, please let me know. Thanks.
