Alan--

	I do not accept the "American Heritage Dictionary" as authoritative
on anything.  I didn't accept it the first time you sent this message, I
don't accept it the second, and will not accept it if sent a third time.  I
am not certain why you are bringing French into this, but next time try
"Harap's."

	Cheers,

	Buzz
