3742 (was 3741 (was 9347))

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

The 3742 provided three rows of 40 characters each.  The first row was
for machine status, column indication, and error codes.  The second
and third row were for user data.

The 3741 actually provided 6 rows of 40 characters each.  Your note
is refering to rows 2, 3, 4, and part of 5 which were available for
user data.  Row 1 was, like the 3742, for status information; the last
30 characters of row 5 for field prompting or field format; and row 6
for display of the current field data being keyed.
