Jan, I tested this using 7.1.79.30214. When the first character of the value is 
a space and the
value is the return from the retcol on the choose command, the space is 
removed. A select which
uses only the text value, no return column, correctly keeps the space in the 
variable.

This is easily replicated in ConComp, so I will work up a demonstration and 
submit it as a bug.
