    23-069 ^200 up chars corrupt window borders and scroll bar. ithnkfixed.
    23-070 flag.c : Internal error : TAG_LIST and tag.list = NUL
    24-003 MAC LIST . is looking for "*".
    24-008 next bug.



    Open bugs discussion :

    If Open/ed crashes and is restarted, it may start a new shared memory segment for alarms.
    The only way around this is to exit all of your Open/ed sessions and
    remove the control file : %alarms.control.file%.

    The WHICH command examines each directory in PATH.
    If '.' is specified and the same directory is also specified, then the
    WHICH command will double report if the command is found.

    If you page foreward or back in screen mode and see jumbled text from previous
    pages, then this is 23-068. This appeared just before release in Decmber 2023.
    You should only see it on x86 Macos, not on Arm or linux. There is a workaround
    in place so you should not see it, but please report it if you do.

    The integer value of a control character is ^X.
    Quoted control codes needs a review.
