Rename the option for adding coordinates to autodescribe feedback for the '/' and ';' commands from 'getpos_coord' to 'whatis_coord', after the '/' command that uses it instead of after the internal routine that implements it. The 'whatis' name was only in dat/hh as far as I could find, so this changes it to 'what-is' and also updates dat/help and the Guidebook to mention the name too. Add a 'screen' choice to the option to show coordinates as row,column rather than x,y or compass direction(s). Revise the /m, /M, /o, /O operations of 'what-is' to honor the whatis_coord option (mostly; a value of 'none' gets overridden by 'map' to force coordinates). Also, update the description of the functionality of the '/' command in the Guidebook. The .mn version is tested, the .tex one isn't.

|
|
is a list of all commands. Each is followed by a list of window-

|
is recommended that you spell out as much of the role name
|
