Does the ansi viewer not work anymore.

I've created a menu command that uses "GV" with the following and it doesn't
display the ansi I specify.

What am I doing wrong?

<template>;<helpfile>;<speed>;<filename>

Search the whatsnew document for the latest release for this:

+ New ANSI viewer has now replaced the old one.

The old one was replaced with a newer one that uses the newer template system.
The menu command changed a little bit.

It looks like at some point I think I overwrote upgrade.txt that comes with A48
with an older version of itself and lost instructions. Its all in the whatsnew
though, but it looks like I need to rebuild the upgrade instructions for A48.

Turns out the upgrade isntructions are in the upgrade.txt for the ANSI viewer I
was thinking it was added more recently than it was. The instructions for that
are in the A47 upgrade section.

You can also find details in the whatsnew.

.... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features...
