Hi Ann,
One of the things that drives us all crazy, and which may well be the
root of your problem, are files which contain hard returns at the end of
each line, which are NOT caused by the typist.
Rather this is a phenomina of how they have been saved, and with what
text editor.
For example, if you use "Save as Text with Line Breaks", this will
usually result in hard returns at the end of each line instead of Soft
Returns.
