MM now reads an init file from the user's login directory named MM.INIT which
can modify the variables described below.  These variables can be set during a
normal MM session via the SET command, and the CREATE-INIT command will write
out a new init file containing the state of all the variables.  Of course, this
file can be made via your favorite editor as well.

The format of the variable descriptons is:
	VARIABLE-NAME default-value
		value	meaning

If a question on what a variable does remains, try changing it via the SET
command and see what the results are.
