The problem is that the version you downloaded to your Mac contains linefeeds as well as carriage returns. Although I thought Translate code #3 in the 48sx took care of LF/CRs, it appears to have problems. The easiest method to fix the problem is to strip the LFs from the file. I use Microsoft word. Just open the file, strip the headers/footers (as usual), then select-all. Change the font to 10-point courier. You should see small squares in the leftmost column. Using Option-Mouse select all the boxes. Next hit delete and all the boxes are gone. Save the new file and then transfer it. >Thanks > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >| | "The powers not delegated to the United States by | >| Kevin W.
