Cheque Edit & Roman Numerals SOLVED

[Nelson Coleman]

I thank Richard and everyone else for the hints.  It has been a long 
time since I have altered EDIT so did not recognize the change.  I found 
after the ZERO edit, this:

zer1:(N N N N N&!00000!)|(N N N N&!0000!)|zer2
zer2:(N N N&!000!)|(N N&!00!)|(N&!0!)ROMAN:~ (N N N N & rom4) | (N N N & 
rom3) | (N N & rom2) | (N & rom1)

instead of this (which I gleaned from another archived EDIT file:)

zer1:(N N N N N&!00000!)|(N N N N&!0000!)|zer2
zer2:(N N N&!000!)|(N N&!00!)|(N&!0!)

Somehow in my "fiddling" with EDITs, I used one with the "ROMAN" influence.

I just realized that the CARRIAGE RETURN was missing between the 
"...(N&!0!)" and the "ROMAN...." .  It was sloppy prior editing (on my 
part?) which was not noticed until triggered by the call for the edit.
