        Summaries of Fixes/Changes:
        
        =================================================================
        BUG TITLE:  (#12763) Comma in column command confused in German 
        version
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwonsdt.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Now inserts a space instead of a comma to separate 
        arguments.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  Check out different uses of the ^OU dia-
        log:  Can you get it to output only the Margin change, and if so, 
        does this affect operation.  Does the comma still work in the 
        U.S. version (existing documents)?
        
        BUG TITLE:  * (#12766) Help problems in German version
        
        MODULES CHANGED:  nwinit.asm
        
        FIX DETAIL:  Changed size of screen save buffer.  Added another 
        400 bytes to it.  The German version was short by 192 bytes, so 
        this should be enough assuming the .if help from the pull downs 
        was the worst case.
        
        TESTING REQUIREMENTS:  When pull downs are put on the screen, 
        WordStar saves the area that they overwrite in a buffer.  If you 
        bring up a secondary pulldown sidecar, then what's behind it is 
        added to the screen buffer.  If you then ask for help, whatever 
        is behind it is also added to this same buffer.  See if there are 
        any other pulldowns + help that might cause this to happen.  The 
        size of the buffer is 25*80*2+17+300*2.  Each position on the 
        screen takes two bytes so this isn't much more than a screenful.  
        The 17 you see is for a constant amount of overhead at the 
        beginning of the buffer.
