wow! really? Goodness! I didn't know that! thanks martin for this headsup.
what, then, if you wanted to
do what mike's maybe wanting to do? and what I can well imagine wanting to
do myself in certain sitches, and that is to specify a multiple character
string, i.e. more than one adjacent set, of characters, as the actual
delimiter? then where are you? how would one do that then?
