Thank you - I went to the web page. I couldn't get the "control-V,
control-M" to work because everytime I type it in the ^V changed to a ^M
which I couldn't even backspace out. I reloaded the file in ASCII mode
though, and everything is great. Thank you very much for the instant help -
what a resource!
Franklin
