Adding version commentary

It is a good idea at this point to add some commentary to the .prj file before check-in:

     (Project-Description "Sample PRCS Project")
     (New-Version-Log "checkin main.c and doc/foobar.1")
     

The Project-Description information, by default, is carried over from version to version of a project (so that you usually won't change it after the first version). The New-Version-Log becomes the Version-Log upon check-in and any old version log from a prior version is deleted. Thus, you may use the Version-Log entries of the checked-in versions for any notes about the reasons for the new version or its contents. You can use newlines in the string constants used to hold the commentary, and make them arbitrarily long. See String Constants.
