Dale's statement that GRAMCORD has "never" used that approach is
historically inaccurate.  In its pre-MS-DOS and early DOS forms it did
require  learning a "programming language."  Their introduction of the
template in the late 1980's made GRAMCORD much easier to use although not
all of the available commands were implemented at that time.

A question for Dale (or Paul) is how many of the other commands have been
added to the Windows versions?  The commands (e.g. -SPECWORD, -SPECDATA,
-SPECLEMMA, INTERWORD, -INTERWORD, INTERDATA, etc.) did allow for
complicated and precise searching.
