How come your message 9163, in reply to my message 9160, was not brought to my
attention when I logged in 11-3-93 in the morning. I had to go through my
transcript copy of the session to see that you replied.,

In my preceding message I mentioned that even this solution does not work
properly. With nothing concerning the 3 PCLEXAM instructions in settings.dfl
and the Microlytics chokes when asked to replace current word in eng.spl. In
that context the  on the command line gives a reply of 31 ? Is that
an internal default.

Do not tell me that you do not intend to support the PCLEXAM on a regular
basis. I reported some 3-4 months ago problems about the replace function in
french which you did not want to acknowledge (blaming it on memory problems)
because as your answer said "it does work in english".

All self respecting word processors now offer full support in some foreign
languages. I do not care particularly about PCLEXAM but I am interested in
guaranteed support in the French language. If XY cannot do it I will have to
start looking elsewhere.

BTW where can I find explanation about the  command Robert Holmgren
mentionned in one of his messages.
