On p 19.6 the manual says "Bitmaps can be saved on files with the VARS file package command"  This should be the UGLYVARS file package command.'

'
well, the VARS command was hacked up to work on BITMAPs. Unfortunately, it doesn''t work on LISTS that contain bitmaps, etc. '
'
I think this was a bad idea': either VARS works on bitmaps at any level, of people should use UGLYVARS.'
'
as it is, this just leads to more confusion. '
