The work on the ease 2.1 release, with SunOS, Ultrix, and IDA support
is progressing. In fact, The Sun and Ultrix additions are done,
except for the documentation and a couple bugs I am ironing out.

The changed necessary for the IDA sendmail are hairy, and are not
critical for our needs internally. If you want to be a Beta tester for
ease 2.1 and don't care about the IDA enhancements, send me mail and I
will ship you a set of diffs.

Now for the problem: I am trying to understand some of the additions
to the IDA sendmail grammar. What does the following construct do?

	R$#$+                   $# $1

The documentation isn't clear.
I don't understand the $# on the left hand side.
