Fine. I won't argue! :> The changes for locating acs.rc (in a *fixed*
place instead of anywhere along your PATH) will pretty much drop into
0.21 -- though support for this feature (?) could become a religious
issue and it's not that important to me (I just like "SYSTEMWIDE"
files -- acs.rc -- to be in a fixed location and let "USERSPECIFIC"
files -- ~/.acsrc -- allow for user specific customization). I
also removed the ``cmdproc("clear")'' from the startup initialization
code in MY version (though didn't include this in the diff). This
allows acs.rc and ~/.acsrc to define models that can be "inherited"
by users (seemed like a reasonable capability to have in an rc file!)
I thought the sample acs.rc was also worthwhile (even though all
of the entries I used merely reflect the existing defaults!) since
it shows the format, etc. (I damn near pulled my hair out
trying to figure out how to get "set foo ...." type commands to
work in the rc files!)
