Now that the release of epic4-1.1.6 is past, wd will be integration a
complete re-implementation of /bind which removes the old DFA [1] and
introduces a new NFA [2].

        *** THIS WILL PROBABLY BREAK YOUR SCRIPTS ***

The #1 major change you will have to adapt to is that this new /bind
system does NOT have "meta" states any more.  If you are one of the 
wise souls who have been using /bind -symbolic, you will find this 
changeover to be completely uneventful.  However, if you have been
using tricks like this, you will find they no longer work:

        /bind ^[ meta1
        /bind meta1-[ meta2
        /bind meta2-A backward_history

You have two choices.  You can do this:

        /bind ^[[A backward history

or this:

        /bind -symbolic cursor_up backward_history


These changes will be made available to cvs users immediately, but of
course they will not be available as part of an epic release until
epic4-1.1.7.  I am considering quickly releasing epic4-1.1.7 only 
for the purpose of this feature, so that scripters can work with the
new changes (if they want) or work without the changes (if they don't
want).

This change was not put into epic4-1.1.6 because I wanted a release that
would offer IPv6 capabilities without burdening scripters with having
to retrofit their /bind's immediately.  Please make sure your users
know they mustn't use epic4-1.1.7 if your script uses meta states!
