@@ -276,28 +276,6 @@ The [[curoutstream]] variable is set to the value of the
[[*standard-output*]] common lisp variable in [[ncIntLoop]].
While not using the ``dollar'' convention this variable is still ``global''.
-\subsection{\$current-directory}
-When running in Lucid Common Lisp ([[:lucid]]) on an IBM/370 mainframe
-([[:ibm/370]]) this variable is used in place of the
-[[*default-pathname-defaults*]] common lisp variable.
-Otherwise this variable is
-set to the empty string in [[restart]].
-
-Notice that the variable [[*default-pathname-defaults*]] is a Common
-Lisp standard variable with implementation defined meaning.
-Typically, its value is an object that represents the directory from
-where the Lisp image has been started.
-
-The [[reroot]] function sets this variable to the value of
-[[$spadroot]] which itself has the value of the argument to the
-[[reroot]] function. Since the argument to the [[reroot]] function is
-an string which represents an absolute pathname pointing to OpenAxiom the
-net result is that the [[$current-directory]] is set to point to the
-shell [[AXIOM]] variable.
-
-So during execute both [[$current-directory]] and [[$spadroot]] reflect
-the value of the [[AXIOM]] shell variable.

\subsection{\$currentLine}
The [[$currentLine]] line is set to [[NIL]] in [[restart]].
It is used in [[removeUndoLines]] in the undo mechanism.
