And this is so true! I get HTML mails in the office, and I reply by
MicroEd - I have to delete a lot of question marks that MicroEd
inserts, and I have to add blanks between words that MicroEd
concatenates.

I believe there is a (very old) bug report out on that one. Can
someone point me tothe bug number, so I can add a bug report?

That is because you can use & in the search string as a logical "and".
If you really mean the character &, you have to type it twice: &&.

Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press
Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key
is.
