        tions.  Recheck problem with returning to WordStar in 50 line 
        mode from inset after viewing a graphic (screen wasn't repainted 
        properly).

        Summaries of Fixes/Changes:

        BUG TITLE:  (#12758) Extended chars not working in macros
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwscrn2.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Changed stmacmsg and wsmacstat to check for extended 
        characters properly.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Make a macro message with extended charac-
        ters in it.  Also change usrmpaus (user defined pause for input 
        message for macros) to contain extended characters.  Check that 
        both of these messages display properly and then that the status 
        line does proper updates when the messages dispappear.
        
        BUG TITLE:  (#12760) 12760.bug crashes note reform
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwnotes.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Changed tgofst to skip symmetrical sequences instead 
        of passing through them a byte at a time.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Retest with the sample file.  Make sure 
        that tag within the offending note (the one that starts with "J. 
        C. Morris wa") is updated properly and that the note gets re-
        formed properly.  Check note convert through the menus.  Check 
        note convert through the .cv command.
