If the USOS 'feature' is set to ON: (as I understand it)
ON TRANSMIT: If there is a space after a numeric character, the sending
software inserts a 'shift FIGS' character into the transmitted data stream.
ON RECEIVE: If there is a space after a numeric character the receiving
software inserts a 'shift FIGS' character. (If there is no shift FIGS character
aleady there?) I wonder whether a second 'shift FIGS' is inserted (two in a
row) if a 'shift FIGS' already exists at that point.
On this matter I defer to Chen.
Thanks,
