Here is the response that I got back from the supertool list, from Hans at
Robelle:

> base dict.convert,1
> get data-element
> define oldvalue,element-edit[1],8
> if oldvalue = "^^/^^/^^"

It worked great, and preserved those pesky little .'s (non-printing characters)
at the end of the '^^/^^/^^' string!
