 a comma doesn't come after "i.e." ...  does it?

 	i.e. == for example, so I read it as "(for example, rather than" ...

 Nope.  No comma after 'i.e.' please.

I will handle this.

State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 2 07:36:08 PDT 2002 
State-Changed-Why:  
I have committed the 's/rather then/rather than/' 
part of this and will MFC later. 

The adding of a comma (',') after i.e. I will not commit. 
According to 'The Elements of Style' by Strunk and White: 
i.e. and other abbrv are paranthetic and should have 
a trailing ','. However, since this part is within 
parateses already that is not needed. 

Thanks for pointing this out.
