          Features added to MAXTEST between version 1.0 and 1.2

     A. MAXTEST version 1.2 has a "learn mode" that roughly follows
            the OMTI style.  [Version 1.1 had learn mode without
            looping.]

	& [shift-7] toggles learn mode.  If learn mode is off, it
            gets turned on; if on, it gets turned off.
	    When entering learn mode, you are asked for a file
	     name.  The file chosen writes over any previous file 
	     by that name.  The file may be any name and any length
            that fits in the specified directory.  Two bytes are
            saved for each key hit.
	    In learn mode, all keys hit are saved to the learn file,
	     including mistakes and corrections.  So anything you
	     can do in MAXTEST can be done in a learnfile.  Each key 
	     saved is also executed.  The file gets closed when
	     leaving MAXTEST if not before. 
           Currently only the Data Transit can not be accessed by a
            learnfile.
	    Be sure that you include loading any needed commandfile
	     in your learnfile.
	    Selecting '&' again closes the file and exits learn mode.

	@ [shift-2] executes a learned file for a loopcount from
            1 to 4 bytes of count [about 4 billion].  Default is 1.
	    A learnfile can also be executed from the command line
	     by entering -L or -L= followed immediately by the 
	     learnfile name.  Example: MAXTEST CMDS -L=MYTEST.LRN
           From the command line the file is executed 1 time.
           YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for being sure the filename is 
	     truly a learnfile; MAXTEST doesn't know.  Results are
	     unpredictable if it is not.

     B. Another new function controls automatic request sense.

       Control R lets you turn automatic request sense off or on.
            Normally this should always be ON.

     C. You can now leave MAXTEST from the buffer menu. [Q]
