Disposition: [problem is that \OPCODES has to be collected in one place to know about all of the UFNs. This probably could be redesigned to distribute the info, but I''m not convinced that the pain of doing this is worth the value added -- right now, at least you *know* where the opcodes are defined. ]'

Description: '
I''d like there to be a new file package type called OPCODES.  Usage':'

would cause the DOPCODE and DOPVAL (and other?) properties of MISC7 to be written out, and when loaded would update \OPCODES and \OPCODEARRAY appropriately.'
