The help files for CC compiler vers 4 and 5 are peppered with
a puzzling symbol. This may be an installation error on my part,
but if not I would welcome clarification. For example:
BIN$ function
Return a ' that is the binary (base 2) representation of its argument.
REGEXPR
Scan a ' for a matching "wildcard" or regular expression.
The "apostrophe" appears inside a small indented box. In the
BIN$ case I can guess the ' could stand for "result". In the
REGEXPR case perhaps the ' refers to "string argument".
I am reading about the new OBJECT methods in ver 5 and here
guessing what the apostrophes stand for is risky.
Where have I gone wrong with this one?
