The thing is, when I exhaust all other means of documentation I go to the
CVS for help, hints and clues. I'm sure others do the same.  ;o)

This is how I stumbled on it one day looking for info about the conterm
system variable.  The thing is, even if it's not used, it should be
corrected or removed.  My 2 cents.

The Compendium seems to indicate that bit is off by default, yet in plain
TOS and MiNT when it boots up it seems to be set on.  This is why I was
looking into conterm, because I noticed GFA was fiddling with this bit and
flipping it on, when it's already on.  Which I thought was strange.
