Hi,

sure, laziness ;-)

Sometimes one may be too lazy to write a space after the
last element of a qdstring list. So,  =20
=09('first' 'second' 'last')
should parse with my proposed solution.
The other solution should require a space after 'last'=20
(worked out theoretically, not checked; But I have my s
olution running in some programs for over a week now)

Yours
PEter
