I see what you mean, but emacs could certainly handle all the tags even if they were exported to a text file. It would sort of amount to having a more digestible .sla mini-file. It could also lead, perhaps, to a better visual design of .sla files. Right now, they're obviously not generated to be easily read by humans, with all the tags smashed together and the use of "^E" for carriage return mixed in with the text. Gregory Pittman
