i wasn't aware (but couldn't say i'm surprised) that outlooks (too) misbehave
:) but, as you indicated, they still require a proper closing statement of
"`\nend\n", so thus far it seems exiscan should follow suit in determining
what's uu and what's not.

i hadn't thought of narrowing the condition scope like this, but it does indeed
