Someone sent me a script to look over and, I've noticed, that the right margin has a lot of asterisks in it.  The lines that have these asterisks also have grey-shaded copy in it.  Is this some sort of draft function that shows you where changes were made in a script.

I'm only assuming that the script was originally written in FD.  The file I received was a .pdf.

Yes, Phil. I remember checking that out once. I think it marks the changes/edits or something in the first go 'round.
