quod erat demonstradum that it worked - and my Latin is still better

What you are saying is that any %Quotestyle starting with these 3
special letters won't work. I just tried it and you are right. Well,
your computerese is still better than mine. :-(

Funny syntax. I can live with it, but will Joe Public? The extra "="
is contra-intuitive IMHO.

Checking the Help, you are right again (and I am disappointed that,
against my prejudices, this is actually mentioned quite clearly in the
Help).
I stand corrected. ;-)
