The limitation *does* exist in the latest version of Notepad, and it would
really be nice if: 1) these other files, especially Install, could be read
by Notepad (i.e, be MS-DOS .txt files); 2) the config directions for PATH
and OPCODEDIR could be added to Install.

Now that CS5 is actually released, it is important to pay attention to these
user-oriented issues. They can really frustrate people.
