Yep! It's a great program (mine has been personalized with macros) and, as
long as it still works--why not?

No, Hugo, TAP didn't erase the message (the list of defs) containing the
ligature; it just changed the character to an underscore. Otherwise, it
came through fine. What got banished to binary (not erased) were two
players' REPLIES to the message, i.e., Dan's and Roberta's votes.

Ah. Even more confusing - how can the same program change oe to _ in one
message and banish a complete message because of that same oe in another
message?

No, don't bother to explain, please. 'twas a rhetorical question.

Best, Hugo
