	\| <strong>Message record delimiter flag</strong>		\| <strong>Message record delimiter flag</strong>
	~~See [[Undocumented_8~~.~~1_commands#dot31\|Undocumented features:~~ .31]].		Used for mailbox counting, message seeking, and end-of-message detection.
			Set by the .31 command. A value of 1 indicates that the most recent disk input record contained exactly one character, CHR$(14), which is the message-divider character used in private mail and Network message files. The CHR$(14) must occupy the entire record; CHR$(14) characters embedded within a longer record do not set this flag. A value of 0 indicates that the record was not a message divider. This variable is updated after every .31 command and is READ ONLY.

The default value is 13, the carriage-return character.

			When the specified character is encountered, it is consumed from the input file but is not included in TX$ or counted in !40.

			This setting is ignored when !15 is zero.

	~~If zero, then the disk input routine will ignore~~ the ~~!04~~ end of line character ~~and will fill~~ the ~~input buffer until~~ the end of the file is ~~reached, or until~~ the ~~maximum number of characters (length of TX$) has been reached~~.		Controls whether .01 and @5 recognize the end-of-line character stored in !04.
	~~A non-zero~~ value ~~enables the delimiter recognition~~.
			0 – Ignore the character stored in !04. Input ends only when the maximum length in !08 is reached or the file status indicates the end of the file or another input condition.
			Nonzero – Stop input when the character stored in !04 is encountered. The ending character is consumed but is not included in the returned data.

			The normal value is 1.
