Argh....whoever told you to use Wordpad without qualifying the RIGHT way to
save out of Wordpad needs to be flogged with a herring :P
My guess is that you've been saving your scripts out as RTF format, or one
of the other non-ASCII fileformats listed in the Wordpad save dialog. Use
Notepad instead...
Or better yet, if you're using windows, get yourself a real text-editor
such as UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit), which will make your coding life
so much better. Notepad is good for writing hello world-level scripts, but
in order to manage "real" programs and scripts, you need to have something
more robust.
