Yes this should have been so… Conclusion : "I" am stupid ;-O))))
Actually I think I would not have had this idea of selecting a part of  
a selection!

Only 3 lines and forgotten any problem of spaces, tabs, crs, etc ...  
Magnifique !
This thread was a bit like a slalom! You are clearly the golden medal  
winner :-))

Thank you a lot Jacque

Best regards from Grenoble

P.S. I still play "JQ Boggle" a lot. But got a conflict with the other  
game I am addicted to: "tRev", where "command + R" shifts from Rev to  
tRev and vice versa. So that I have to quit tRev to be able to rescore  
in JQ Boggle. Might be I should report that to the RQCC ;-O))))))
