--------------------------------------------
Guess 2b is the potential problem. The program just asterisks any word that has a possible *negative* usage. Just like p*m-p*ms, which I wrote about somewhere above.Don't worry, muffy. I think you called me that and I had no idea what the heck it meant AND I thought it sounded sweet, 'specially coming from you. No problem.We're always learning something about words here, it seems. Whether it's always useful or not, well.... lol - 10der
