Hi, Debby, thanks for clearing that up for me. I didn't doubt your word.
You're correct that I was thinking in terms of Braille, a thing most likely
for me to do when dealing with proofreading a file. Naturally, I assume you
knew what to do about that. If it doesn't make sense and you've verified
with the submitter that it shouldn't be in the text, you can delete to your
heart's content, I think. Regards, Kim.

Hi Kim!
Oh, I didn't think of the possibility of that confusion, because I wasn't
thinking in braille.
No, it's not an elipsis or period, but the letters d, i, and s altogether.
Only once did I find dis bumped up against another word as in the funny word
the scano made of "disfound". Otherwise, they were all separated.
