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.
