VMS Help DSR, DSR Commands, .FLAGS PERIOD  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The .FLAGS PERIOD and .NO FLAGS PERIOD commands turn on and turn
    off recognition of the Period flag character (+). When the period
    flag is in effect, an extra space is inserted after the following
    punctuation marks: period (.), colon (:), question mark (?) and
    exclamation point (!).
