A sentence consists of a string of characters terminated by one of a set of single character delimiters. The default sentence delimiters are: period (.), question mark (?), and exclamation point (!). A sentence delimiter is considered to be a delimiter only if it is at the end of a line or if it is followed by a space. The line terminator or trailing spaces are considered a part of the sentence. There are three sentence entities: SEN Specifies the entire sentence in which the cursor is positioned, including the delimiter and trailing spaces or line terminator. BSEN Specifies all characters preceding the cursor in the current sentence. ESEN Specifies all characters in the current sentence from the cursor to (but not including) the delimiter character. The sentence delimiters can be changed by the SET ENTITY command.
