Hi all,

Larry, you went to extra trouble. I just left the British spellings the way they were, and the punctuation the way it was too. That's the way they wrote it.

Maybe I should have changed the quotation marks but I didn't. I figured it was a British book, and therefore it was written in the British manner. Is there anything about this in the manual? Does anybody know?

Actually, this is an excellent question with the advent of the effects of the Marrakesh Treaty. How does one handle British books. I've always left them alone. I figure that The English can't teach their American cousins how to speak, and I just don't argue with The Queen's English.
