The files you are having trouble with are named as if they were 'man' (software manual) files. Try Shift-F3 (or Shift-F1 if that fails) to view the file raw.
Why it affects F4 I do not know. ------------ Yes, thanks ! I'll avoid FileNames = *.*.* It seems that I was wrong F4 doesn't have a problem. That's how I was able to confirm that the contents was OK. By changing the FileName F3 even allows to see the binary, incase there are invisible chars. BTW I hate the man 'format': with wastefull LH-margins - for pencil-notes. And absurd lineBreaks like "re- sult...." !! _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
