This is a very old kludge and all I can remember about it is that I
tried many things before finding something that worked. I'm sure that
PMX has much nicer ways of doing it nowadays, but if I ever revise
M-Tx thoroughly it will be a rewrite in Lua, not a patch to the Pascal
source.

They do nothing. To get anything except the double bar, you do something.
