Operation

After you have made changes to the file, a new copy of it is saved under the name LANGDEF and the old
(unchanged) version of the file is saved under the name LANGDxxx. The number xxx increases by one each
time a new copy of LANGDEF is saved. This allows the user to return to a configuration that existed before
LANGDEF was changed. To return to the previous configuration, PURGE or RENAME the current LANGDEF then
RENAME the LANGDxxx with the highest number LANGDEF.
