You may +want to separate it from other tests in that file using :" (that's an Ex +command comment). + +The numbered tests are older, we have switched to named tests. + +To add a new test: +1) Create test_<subject>.in and test_<subject>.ok files. +2) Add them to all Makefiles (Make*) in alphabetical order (search for an + existing test_file.out to see where to add the new one). +3) Use make test_<subject>.out to run a single test file in src/testdir/. +4) Also add an entry in src/Makefile. + +Keep in mind that the files are used as if everything was typed. +A line break is like pressing Enter.
