Is it portable to use RE in short references?  Eric van H.'s book 
says "no document or part of a document is deemed to start with an RS
or end with an RE unless it really does."  Does this mean that if I 
ship the document to a record-based system like MVS, I would have to 
reserve a character, FUNCTION RE it, and insert it at the end of every
line, if I was using one of the short reference delimiters that contain
it (e.g. blank line)?
