= SUMMARY =

Works will accept a file delimited by ASCII(10) and show the characters as valid paragraph marks.

However, when such a file is edited and saved to the personal dictionary as text to be used by Works as an extension to the main dictionary, the speller rejects the file as invalid. The file has each entry delimited by a char(10) instead of the char(10)char(13) that the speller requires.

The file can be corrected by doing a global search and replace on ^p and replacing it with ^p.

Works displays the text as though it was delimited with a linefeed and a carriage return, but saves it as delimited by only the linefeed.
