[open-cobol-list] Accept / Display syntax

[Roger While]

Hi Vince,
1) It is planned. No idea when.
    (There is very rudimentary code already. Note that the
      accept/display line/col is a MF extension)
    Also note that the screen section is completely optional in the standard.

2) Look at libcob/system.def
   This lists all system routines that are callable from a
   user program.
   The first entries in the list roughly correspond to the MF version.
   The "C$xxx" at the end of the list are ACU cobol equivalents.
