That was my presumption too, Jacque; but more along the lines of
avoiding "-" being sent as an argument to menuPick.
But I'm not asking "-" to be sent, I want "-09" & "---". And if I
had some arcane interface where I wanted "-" as a menuPick, why
shouldn't I be able to have it?...and if there is a good reason why I
can't have "-", why should that lock me out of ALL strings beginning
with "-"?
Please, Run Rev Team, don't protect me from myself to the extent you
take away my options...especially when, AFAICS, there is nothing
worth protecting me from here.
