I don't think it's accurate to call NWP 2.0's handling of grep a "mess". If anything it is Nisus Writer Classic that was the mess. Nisus Writer Classic allowed a variety of characters as literals, which are usually meta-characters in most implementations of grep. My memory of such things is rusty, but "?" is the most obvious case (but I think also parentheses). This was "writer-friendly", since having common characters hijacked as meta-characters is a pain.
But the current implementation is much more standard (and I think it is handled by some external implementation. Kino knows more about this.)
If you have any other problems post them here.

It will doubtless help me with the other headaches. Thanks for this.
