SLATE help file:
---------------

Slate is built upon EMODE, so behaves like a 3 window EMACS.  Horizontal
and vertical scrolling and positioning correctly scroll the LineNumber and
ColumnNumber windows, and stepping commands move in 2 char cell positions.

[Note that lowercase will always behave as Upper case]

SLA symbols overwrite themselves and move to next position:
        1 0 + @ # * R S P D 
        .               clears a cell location
Row and Column Breaks are Toggles:
        M-R M-C 

<RUBOUT>        BackwardEraseCell

%    C-Q                GoToExec  (not yet implemented)
