Lars,

Good point about using endnum. In most braille codes, however, the 
letter sign is still needed to mark single letters that are not 
contractions, and it will be inserted between any digit and any 
following letter.

It might be possible to use the correct opcode to partially solve the 
Word problem, but the results may not be consistent.
