This gives me a hankering feeling. I'd love to be able to use the
"capitalize first letter of sentences" in Entourage as I do in Word, since I
probably omit them about 5% of the time. (I find that since getting an Apple
Pro keyboard - which I really like - a few weeks ago when my original G3 one
went on the blink, I'm fooled by the nice, lighter feel of the keys into not
pressing them hard enough and miss a lot of capitals.) But I can't use it:
writing AppleScript into email messages as I do turns every new line of
script into a "sentence" as far as Entourage is concerned, and it wants to
capitalize every one. Now in Visual basic that would not be a problem, but i
AppleScript it's just not on. It would make me into an illiterate in front
of my peers and betters on the applescript mailing lists. So there we are�
(I'm reverting to space-less ellipses here. Allen's right: because the
normal space is larger than the built-in spaces in the built-in "option-;"
ellipsis, it doesn't look good when you leave a space in front of it.)
