Yes, but this is somehow an imcomplete implementation. For the user it is a macro (or one could see it as a request, does not matter). For me it was unexpected, that it does not work. I don't see any intention or sense in this specific implementation. I think the one how wrote the lex(1) regex simply forgot the [ \t]* between . and PS :-) It is indeed also the traditional behavior (of the AT&T preprocessors) to not allow this white space. By accident I think. (Sorry for the lot of mails. I don't know why they arrive with such a delay. And there had been cases where they even did not arrive...) Carsten
