You want to have it both ways. 1) You want nano to hide the BOM from the user -- because the BOM is part of the file format and must of course stay where it is. And 2) you want to be able to remove the BOM in some way. But... in what circumstances would you want to remove the BOM? Another question. These *.ass files, are they in DOS format? Or do you also have Unix files that start with a BOM? Benno
