It's an old RCS compatibility thing. Yeah, I know... I was actually trying to use State for its original intended purpose.

I thought it did work... or maybe my memory is overheating. Anyhuw, I guess the more cvsnt-way of doing things would be for me to use user-variables. But: - would it be possible for user-variables to propgate from one revision to the next (until they are explicitly set to nowt), i.e. make them 'sticky'. - can they be expanded into a file in the similar manner to the system variables? I had a quick look at the rcs code (yuk!) and I don't think this is done, but perhaps it could be tweaked (or would that cause problems with the info trigger?) --- David Somers typographer/programmer/whatever
