I found something that got messed up. At the end of a sentence where four
periods (.... ) indicate a full sentence (not a partial, cut off in the
middle) with the end period ending the sentence, the .%% procedure turned
this.... into this. ...
I can probably figure out from Johns input how to fix it, but if someone's
there, would you mind just telling me? And if you can think of anything
else that might have gotten messed up.
Thanks, Rafael
I just did a lot of "? ", "?spacespace" and the same with "! " and
they're all fine.
John, I absolutely do remember now when you helped me with this ".%%".
