An field mark delimited array of the original prompts as they were first read from disk. This is used to construct the WC_W%() array. Thus all WC_Redisplay_List% references are made to the original value of WC_Prompts% not to the current value of WC_W%(). Even when the WC_W%() array is modified as with WC_Redisplay_List%, the WC_Prompts% array remains the same. This suggests that the Alt-A logic in a window uses the WC_Prompts% array rather than the WC_W%() array to determine the prompts to display. This probably also explains the disabling of the Alt-A function in the Dict window.
