Could someone please enlighten me as to what the purpose is/was of the 
first word of a save area?

   Usually when I'm going through a dump it's not important, but I have seen 
LE put some control information in there. I've also heard of programmers 
putting program-specific stuff in there, but I'm curious as to what the 
original 
purpose was of it.

   Thanks.
