MAILMAN has permission to make the following calls to
VA Fileman:

1.   FileMan has a special way of using the XMD interface and it also has
special calls into the XMP series of routines so that it can load INITs
directly into a message during a DIFROM.  As such the variable DIFROM effects
that way some of these routines work so that the DIFROM procedure can use them
to enter data and routines reiteratively into messages.

o    In the routine XMD, if $D(DIFROM) security keys are not ignored.

o    In the routine XMD, if $D(DIFROM) will cause a call to XMD at either tag
EN1 or tag EN2 to quit after text is added to a message, but before the
message is delivered.

o    In the routine XMD, if $D(DIFROM) before delivery, security will be added
automatically by a call to XMASEC.

o    In the routine XMASEC, if $D(DIFROM) security is forced onto the message.

o    In the routine XMP, if $D(DIFROM) the string " (DIFROM)" is added to the
1st line of the PackMan message to show how it was created.

o    In the routine XMPH a special prompt is provided where DIFROM loading
into a message causes special help for the programmer.

some point separated from the Kernel and become independent modules of their
own): FileMan (DI*)
