Summary: But _when_ is the X needed?

OK, so the "X" goes before any line with a ".".  I'm sure that the "X"
must also precede any line that already had an "X".  Are there other
characters in the first position that systems in the net will be
sensitive to?

One way to find out is to try it your (rs) way and see what pops up.
I'd prefer to hear more, however, from anyone else who might know if
any systems are sensitive to characters in the first position.
