nother way to look at it is to pose the question: "Would you use the text item delimiters without setting them to the needed value first?"

Um, because some other part of the code had set them, and expects them to be what they were set to. If you change them underneath, you should put them back the way you found them.

If the main body of the script set them, and you change them within a handler (subroutine), you had better restore them to what they were before exiting the handler because the main body may still be using them.
