Subject: Checkin Comments When using RCS. 

SMGR retains your complete comment in the SMGR database.  In order to make
the RCS delta file as complete as possible, it also provides the same comment
text on the command line.   

However, in order to get around some shell expansion issues in the exdo 
command, the checkin logic mangles the comment text to change the following
characters to the _ character:
	space < > , ' ;

It now appears we should have included the ( ) [ ] as well.  If you use these 
characters in your checkin comment it will fail. 

This is correctable if it causes you major grief.  Let us know.
