though:
Revision 1.14 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Fri
Dec 31 19:39:25 2004 UTC (5 weeks ago) by sam
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.13: +11 -1 lines
Diff to previous 1.13 (colored)
o accept deftxkey as a synonym for weptxkey since that is what
is
printed for status (allows cut&paste)
o accept undef for the deftxkey/weptxkey so you can reset state
