where each @var{del_var} takes the form:
instead of terminating it. The ability to specify more than one quote
character is a @pspp{} extension.
-By default, a character specified on @subcmd{QUALIFIER} cannot itself be
-embedded within a field that it quotes, because the quote character
-always terminates the quoted field. With ESCAPE, however, a doubled
-quote character within a quoted field inserts a single instance of the
-quote into the field. For example, if @samp{'} is specified on
-@subcmd{QUALIFIER}, then without ESCAPE @code{'a''b'} specifies a pair of
-fields that contain @samp{a} and @samp{b}, but with ESCAPE it
-specifies a single field that contains @samp{a'b}. ESCAPE is a @pspp{}
-extension.
+The character specified on @subcmd{QUALIFIER} can be embedded within a
+field that it quotes by doubling the qualifier. For example, if
+@samp{'} is specified on @subcmd{QUALIFIER}, then @code{'a''b'}
+specifies a field that contains @samp{a'b}.
The @subcmd{DELCASE} subcommand controls how data may be broken across lines in
the data file. With LINE, the default setting, each line must contain
