REPLY:

Nobody actually sends TOO. That is what prints when the FIGS shift
character in front of 599 is lost or garbled. 

If everyone would do two things those mis-prints would be greatly
reduced:

1. Be sure Un Shift On Space turned on (USOS), which is the default for
most software anyway. Just don't turn it off.

and

2. Put a space between elements of your exchange instead of hyphens or
other characters such as a slash. 

USOS is a great help but hyphens and other characters defeat it. Please
don't use them.
