Re: Xpl accident

["Patricia M. Godfrey" PriscaMG@xxxxxxxx]

Something rather odd just happened. Maybe I was OOM (I had a lot of
files up, but...) Anyway, I was trying to polish a routine to take
account of all contingencies. As I often do, I manually inserted a lot
of the code, typing the guillements with Ctrl+< and Ctrl+>. When I then
switched out of expanded mode, I immediately noticed that some of those
guillements did not "close up" into proper expressions. So I copied them
to another file, then copied and pasted some known good guillements from
working routines, and XPLencoded the whole thing. Here's the result. As
you can see, my hand-coded guillemets ended up 3-byters. Anyone know
what could have caused that? And how to prevent its happening again?

N.B. Not ALL such hand-coded guillemets went haywire, only some.
