From: Eric Stork 
I'm either doing something wrong, or I've come across a bug in TSE 2.5e.
Objective: Assure that in text
                   "xxx.) Xxxx" & "xxx. (Xxxx"
are separated by two spaces, i.e., the above should become:
                  "xxx.)  Xxxx" & "xxx.  (Xxxx"
BUT
                   "xxx.) xxxx" & "xxx. (xxxx"
should NOT be changed.
Lines used in my 2_Space macro:
              lReplace('\.) {[A-Z]}','\.)  \1','gnx')
              lReplace('\. ({[A-Z]}','\.  (\1','gnx')
That works fine for:    "xxx.) xxxx"
But for:   "xxx. (xxxx" I get "xxx.  (xxxx"
It seems that for "(x" the term "{[A-Z]}" is case-independent.  Why is that?  
Is it my programming error, or is it a Bug?
Eric
