       Type: Variable
   Category: Text
    Summary: A flag that indicates whether we are currently printing a word
  Deep dive: Extended text tokens
    Context: See this variable in context in the source code
 References: This variable is used as follows:
             * CLYNS uses DTW2
             * DETOK2 uses DTW2
             * MT8 uses DTW2
             * TT26 uses DTW2
             * TTX66 uses DTW2


 This variable is used to indicate whether we are currently printing a word. It
 has two values:

   * 0 = we are currently printing a word

   * Non-zero = we are not currently printing a word

 The default value is %11111111 (we are not currently printing a word).

 The flag is set to %00000000 (we are currently printing a word) whenever a
 non-terminator character is passed to DASC for printing.

 The flag is set to %11111111 (we are not currently printing a word) whenever a
 terminator character (full stop, colon, carriage return, line feed, space) is
 passed to DASC for printing. It is also set to %11111111 by jump token 8,
 {tab 6}, which calls routine MT8 to change the value of DTW2, and to %10000000
 by TTX66 when we clear the screen.
