Re: Hidden text?

["Joel Lidov" <Lidov () qc ! edu>]

Using LB is possible, but it now has a "normal" use as a cross-reference 
label, and will show up in the cross-reference dialogue. I don't think 
there is any harm in using a label you don't reference, but I also don't 
know if a long label would confuse some other aspect of the program, since 
it now keeps an index of lables.

I've was in the habit of using AN for this purpose although I find the 8.0 
AN input box very inconvient for long notes (LB uses the same box).  I 
think PR (prompt) also survives, and has no current uses. It can be made 
to show a little marker.
