Just to let you know that Duxbury are on their toes, and the errors
mentioned in this thread have already been corrected for 10.5.
By the way, although the // command still works, you should try to use the
[/] Code.
[/] -- Translation code, to prevent contractions straddling the code. E.g.
line[/]age would assure that no "ea" contraction is used in the word
lineage, as appropriate when the word has the unusual meaning "quantity of
lines".
I'm afraid some of the older codes will in due course be dropped, such as
the double slash, which is now commonly used in web addresses.
