Lawrence,
thanks for your suggestions. I did call our bank just a minute ago, and they
said they would accept "LS", "L S", and "L and S", even "L/S", as
placeholders for "L&S". They were aware of these technological glitches
occurring frequently in their dealings with other banks, and were given some
leeway by their management in regard to these.
As to versions 3 vs. 4, you may well be right, but as I have only seen v.4,
I cannot make any informed comment on this.
Best,
Michael Suesserott

have a similar problem long time ago with another
firm, do not skip the "&" - use "and".
in this case "L and S Captial ..."
they are equivalent to most banks.
if you really worry about it, call your bank.

interesting that you like v4 - personally I like v3
way better for the single click to place order
ability.
