I complained about psuedo-spaces appearing in the middle of function names and causing various malfunctions. For clarity I had highlighted these names in yellow where they are defined and in green where they are used. This lets me quickly see all the defs and calls without doing searches. I think the problem that caused the psuedo-spaces to appear is that occasionally my highlighting "stroke" accidentally did not cover the full name, so I would highlight the last character or two separately. Examination of the actual plaintext showed that a color callout appeared twice in the name, once for each highlighting stroke. Where I have seen a problem, I have erased the highlighting and redone it in one stroke. I think this will fix it. It's a bug in Mathematica, I would say, but one that can be gotten around. If this is correct, it will remove a major nuisance. Steve Gray
