Hi, Carl. I use that trick too (in fact, it's in the v3 !XSE crossfile
search I kept announcing the other day). But: Have you considered
appending a func symbol to the string instead of an ascii char? I use
func CO or NO for the purpose. Safer and works fine (i.e., no tsouris
about the number of bytes per char, etc.) in v3.57:

	{sv12,+X CO }{sv86,CO }{sx13,{is00}+{is86}}
	{xs13,12,14,12,16}{xs12,86,13,86,14}

In this case, the final char in {is00} is {is13}. 	--a
