Thanks for fixing the error.

This is a very old message having survived from when WordQuiz was developed 
for non-Unicode versions of Windows. Think Windows 95 and 98. On those 
platforms there are/were fonts available for e.g. Japanese that simply mapped 
characters to positions where ascii characters normally would be. Essentially 
blocking two keys on the keyboard would make such fonts unusable.

With everything being Unicode today I guess the message is at least 99% 
obsolete.

I haven't touched this part of KWQ because my plan has been, and still is, to 
make the "blank" delimiter character(s) user configurable. Unless someone has a 
better idea.

Thanks,
Peter
