Michael,
Thanks for the reply. I try not to use Windoze or DOS
when I can. Normally I use vi to edit. This might have
been a cut&paste job on Linux, I don't remember now.
In any case, the ^M's didn't show up when I looked at
it (either in vi or view) last night. I'll check that
out anyway.
Again, thanks for the suggestion.
Jim
