status and the highest status that had been reached so far (the latter
is usually identical to the current status).
The current status defines the highest status to which you can change
it now. The highest status that had been reached so far, determines
the lowest status to which you can change it.
The current status is &V3&. You may only change it up to &V2&.
The highest status reached so far is &V4&. It allows only a change to
a status that is greater than, or equal to &V1&.
