 +The ASCII value to be used by SCRIBE as the delimiter when prompting for
 +input. Note that this is normally set to the following values
 +
 +|Key|Null|
 +|SV prompt|CHAR(253)|
 +|MV prompt|CHAR(253)|
 +|Ctrl-E'd SV/MV prompt|CHAR(252)|
 +|Text prompt|CHAR(251)|
 +
 +The existence of a value in WC_DELIM% indicates to the system that Ctrl-E
 +(to drop the delimiter a level) is possible. Thus Ctrl-E on a normal prompt
 +drops DELIM to CHAR(252). Ctrl-E again drops WC_DELIM% to CHAR(251). To
 +indicate that Ctrl-E is not permitted in a prompt, set WC_DELIM% to null. If
 +the user then presses Ctrl-E the system will respond with a W812 ("Subvalues
 +are not allowed") message.
