 Sorry Harry, your change replace command did not remove all the commas and

Aha, looking more closely, I see that sometimes there's a carriage-return
following the last to-be-deleted letter. So you'd have to do a ci which
looks for either a comma or a carriage-return. That's easy to do, but then
there may be carriage-returns following characters you don't want to delete.
I can't tell from your email whether there's a tab in there, but if there
is, you could do (in Xy4 only):

ci ///
where  is the tab character,  is the wild string, and  is the
reverse-video arrow for the carriage return.

But more power to your XPL programs--they are fun and instructive to do.
