Dunno about that -- it was 2.51 on the install disks.

Huh?

I DID want the space.  I don't see a definition of "normal order" -- the 
example you've given doesn't match MY keyboard! :-))  Can you point me to the 
definition so I can try and understand this better?

I noticed that! :-(  It isn't QUITE what I had in mind! :-))

That works quite well, but adding the space seems to override the A-Za-z -- 
TSE finds ONLY the spaces between words!
It's certainly closer to what I wanted, and I'm closer to understanding it -- 
thanks!
