(IT_clear_end_of_line): Print the extent of the cleared part of the line to the termscript file. (IT_clear_to_end): Clear the entire line, not just its beginning. (menu_help_message, prev_menu_help_message): New variables. (IT_menu_make_room): Make room for the help_text member. (IT_menu_display): New argument disp_help; all callers changed. If disp_help is non-zero, store the help text of the active menu item in menu_help_message. (XMenuAddPane): Initialize the help_text member to NULL. (XMenuAddSelection): New argument help_text. Store it in the XMenu structure. (XMenuActivate): New argument help_callback. If the value of menu_help_message has changed since the last time, display the menu help message text while waiting for the mouse to move. Clear the echo area before exiting. (XMenuDestroy): Free the help_text member.

This is a list of known problems to date with the Windows NT/95 port of
GNU Emacs.

* Handle wildcards in ls-lisp (e.g., C-x d *.c).

* Interactive subprocess output is buffered in jerky

* Presently, C:\foo\bar and C:/foo/bar bring up two buffers on the same file.
  Solve this by adding a switch that canonicalizes path separators
  (e.g., make them all / or all \)?

* call-process-region: Another tricky situation with binary and text modes.
  An example by [e-mail]: use crypt++ to load compressed
  data into a buffer, edit the buffer, save the data back out.  (Also
  need to propagate the "/C" switch change sent the shell in crypt++.el
  back to the author.)

* Dired uses ls-lisp, which reports all files as being owned by the
  current user.  Need to dig through the security descriptor to extract
  the owner of the file (and the group?) using LookupAccountSid.

* Integrate the build for NT into the GNU config process once
  a decent shell becomes freely available

* Integrate networking.

* Fix Win95 subprocesses.
