XY-> Paul Leuba, Technical Support:

XY-> Regarding the use of a wild separator; what you describe does indeed seem
 -> be true.  I have been able to duplicate the problemon my own system. However
 -> in your earlier correspondance it appears that you have found a work around.
 -> have reported this problem to the XyWrite development staff,

Hi, Paul,

The workaround is to load an SE table in the DFL file. And the
easiest way is to download tech note 200 from the TTG BBS and cut
and paste the 3-line separator list (and add the apostrophe).

One of the single most amazing aspects of XyWrite is the
multiplicity of ways that a person has of accomplishing a goal.
But I do think that everyone should add the apostrophe.
WordPerfect 6.1 for Win has the same slip for its whole word
search (without a workaround!).

I was changing, say, a title from King to king; used the
whole-word choice; and missed all the instances of "King's" in
the text. Only afterward did I realize what had happened. (In
terms of law texts it could even be more important, say, changing
"Clark's papers" to "Harrrison's papers.")

Tech note 200 implies the apostrophe didn't exist as a wild
separator in 3+; but it actually was back then.
