+Subject: Yet another fix for %a macro.
+
+Full_Name: Salvador Ortiz
+Version: 0.51.0
+OS: RedHat Linux
+Submission from: lulu.msg.com.mx (200.33.54.10)
+
+The following patch cure two small remaining problems in the parser for
+the %a macro, the first is a trivial one, the other may requiere some
+explanation:
+
+At the exit of the for loop in getuserinput, ptr points to the char
+_after_ the closing perentesis, but in ExpandOptions ptr is incremented
+again, so one char is eaten.
