Operation
There are to be no blanks before or after the currency symbol.
The following blank-control codes are available:
<CR> to retain the existing value.
0 - No blanks before or after the currency symbol.
1 - A blank is to precede the currency symbol.
2 - A blank is to succeed the currency symbol.

After you make a selection, the current value is displayed and you are prompted for a
new value. If you enter a new value, LANGINST validates and replaces the old value with
the current one.
After you have made changes to the file, a new copy of it is saved under the name
LANGDEF and the old (unchanged) version of the file is saved under the name LANGD
xxx
.
The number
xxx
increases by one each time a new copy of LANGDEF is saved. This allows
the user to return to a configuration that existed before LANGDEF was changed. To
return to the previous configuration, PURGE or RENAME the current LANGDEF then RENAME
the LANGD
xxx
with the highest number LANGDEF.
