facetterm and trapping character sequences

[John Esak]

Larry,

Thank you so much. This is a great trick I had forgotten. Very useful, as I
still use facetterm daily and would be completely lost without it. As it
turns out, Eric just found the exact reference to this problem in your
support database. Fantastic.  Thanks again.

Incidentally, I remembered seeing your name in my customer database about a
week 10 days ago. I thought you had bought the filePro Training CD's. I just
looked and it is a David Mayfield from Bastrop, LA. Any relation to you?
Just curious.

John
