problem with :env in break loop
I just installed AKCL, Version 1.530, on a Sparcstation2. After some
very preliminary testing, it seems to work correctly except for the
break loop. Typing ":env" in the break loop generates a format error.
A trace of the program follows, using the example from the manual.

Changes in version 1-455 definitely require recompilation of user files.

My questions are as follows:
1. Is this a known problem, and what is the fix for it?
2. Is it true that the functions described in the user manual (such as
:variables, :functions, etc.) are no longer available?
3. Is there any updated documentation on the break loop?
4. Subsequent errors while in the break loop do not appear to enter a
new level, nor do they appear on the backtrace of the current level.
Is this correct behavior?
Thanks very much.
