Re: [U2] UniVerse Dictionary question

And nowadays we are lucky to have additional choices, like UniVerse 
allowing you to key a space in and after pressing <ENTER> it gets 
removed and we have the same thing.

I like this technique better sometimes because in some versions of 
PICK/BASIC, control characters show up as a '.' in the Editor. You look 
at it, and without typing some more commands, you cannot differentiate 
between a control character and an actual period. But it's good to know 
multiple techniques in case we have to work on multiple systems.
