Our version is that it's preparing text for input fields in a form, with

Obviously it can't do anything useful for an append, because that would be too early in the process -- WebCatalog would have preprocessed all the text in the form _before_ you typed anything, so it could not have any affect on what you typed.I'll look into any typos in the online docs.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
