I finally got around to fooling with ARP, and I discovered that they
change done command in a way that _wil_ break some scripts.

To wit, the copy command now interprets "*" in the to argument to
mean the current directory, whereas it used to mean the current
window. I know people who used "copy <file> *" instead of "type
<file>" because copy was faster than type.

This is no longer true - but I predict some wierd shocks for people.
Could someone let the arp support group know by e-mail?

	Thanx,
