Running webster on tsx-11 under emacs I discovered the control-A
occurrences that I've changed to caret form below:
1. hel.ter-skel.ter \.hel-t*r-'skel-t*r\ av [imit.] 1: in headlong disorder
: PELL-MELL 2: in random order : HAPHAZARDLY^A2. helter-skelter n : a
disorderly confusion : TURMOIL^A3. helter-skelter aj 1: confusedly hurried :
Should've done something useful instead, like paragraph breaks, or
just omitted them.
Fixed.
(GOD, that code is gross!)
