Known problems with commands

If a user-defined command contains a compound backquoted expression including a run statement, such as

   name=my_cmd
   action=`executableA; run executableB; executable C`nop
then, if the command is selected from the command menu, everything up to and including the run statement (executableB) occurs with the command menu as the current frame; the rest of the statement (executableC) occurs with the previously current frame as the current frame.

The reset command does not work in the done descriptor of a form.

When a second set of SLKs are defined, the togslk command issued from the command line works once, to switch from the first set to the second, but subsequent executions of it are ignored.

If the rmenu descriptor defines consecutive choices as identical (which should not be done, since it serves no purpose), toggling the choices using the <CHOICES> function key prevents those choices after the duplicated one from being reachable.
