Uh, oh.  It seems that I have to revert or modify the change.  Anyway,
it looks strange to me that

  right;
  line from 1,1 then up 1

(which is, according to your tests with AT&T pic, the same as `line 0
from 1,1 then up 1') should be have in a different way compared to

  right;
  line then up 1;

(which is the same as `line right then up 1').

Am I doing something wrong?  Opinions?
