Forgive me if this has been suggested before but could not a double !! be used to indicate a line break. This would be consistent with the !whatever! usage with absence of any characters indicating a line break. It still leaves existing files as a problem for software to read, but there's no way 100% certain round that, especially with some of the examples given :-( To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
