I typed EDIT into a break window, and it got me editing the expression on LISPXMACROs that caused the computation I was performing. That is well and good, but the title of the window was '
'
"DEdit of function NIL" which seems like a real mistake.'
'
Howcome the funny window title?'

HELPFIX is calling EDITE with Type=FNS, even if there is no fn (like on TYPEIN). Hence DEdit thinks this is a function (with no name).'
'
AR311 should be superceded by this AR on HELPFIX - type should be NIL if name arg to EDITE is NIL.'
