This version of CD Charlie Heath wrote to work with his expanded prompt 
command. The documentation had some notes on when you would want to use
it and why. There was also a prerelease of the arp stuff for testing
and that has found it's way around as well. The currently released version
is just that, a release version, and works tons better. There is more info
on it on BIX as well as on the 'official' arp distribution disk. I will se
what I can find and upload it here.
