That sure sounds familiar! The pdf manual that I downloaded has this note about
READ:
Using CTLCHARs in non-RESERVED lines with READ NOCHANGE, may
cause unpredictable results.
However, as has been pointed out earlier, what we both remember is, in fact, a
dependent behavior of some system macros.
But, sigh, THE has no equivalent. Looks like I'll have to be inventive!
Thanks for everyone's help!

Indeed. The brain cells are fading fast now!
I think what's not documented is that CTLCHARs in the file being XEDITed are
interpreted on READ NOCHANGE TAG. So you can create template files sort of like
DMS and use those for panels.
