'
we had a problem a while back with ASKUSER and the copyright prompt. A hack got put in to call PROMPTFORWORD in Interlisp-D instead of ASKUSER. Did anybody actually find out why ASKUSER was broken and fix it?'
'
(I''ve stumbled across the hack which didn''t work in the non-Interlisp-D case when trying to load up Interlisp-10. I''d like to just remove it.)'
