c.horn I see what you mean. Looks like you found the best method. How's the gaming? Are you still ranked way up there. If you folks didn't know, this guy can answer any question about Quake that you have ever thought of. He'll kick your B**T at it too! tc :-)

Text files have some choice in how lines are represented. The most common, is a two-character combination of CR-LF, or Carriage Return & Line Feed, ASCII 0D & 0A. Text editors can, and often do, choose to use either CR or LF alone in the file and take appropriate action when either is encountered. NotePad seems to interpret CR-LF combinations literally: by moving the cursor to the left margin (CR) and then moving it down one line (LF). When NotePad encounters a lone CR or a lone LF, it seems to display a 'box' character (which looks like ASCII FE to me) To get your text file to appear the way you want it, you'll need your lines to begin or end with CR-LF combinations. I think Word can do the conversion, but I haven't researched it. (Hint: In Word, Click File/Save As..., and pick from the File Types menu. You'll get a number of 'interesting' choices. Try each until you find one that works.) Cheers, PW. P.S. The terms 'Carriage Return' and 'Line Feed' have been with us from the days of typewriters. P.P.S. Carriage Return = CR = (hex)0D = (decimal)13, while Line Feed = LF = (hex)0A = (decimal)10.
