How about the explanation of using $? THe guide does have this in a separate line to help those not familiar with Regular Expressions. Perhaps you are looking for a tutorial on using Regular Expressions. For these use a search engine. I thought of adding a bit more material but at over 400 pages the manual is almost too big and with the wealth of tutorial material available on the Internet there didn't seem to be any point beyond explaining a bit more on the use of the paragraph marker. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
