Description:
	Fails to display a '%' character on the ascii side of the screen
	because it is using sprintf to try to print it.

Reapeat-by:
	Make a copy of the program (called from here on bpatch) and
	bpatch this copy.  Search for the string "FILE:" and then change
	it to "File:".  Save the change and then use the new bpatch to edit
	something.  Notice that at the top it says "IlLe:", or something
	else basically wrong.

Fix:	Apply this patch.  Ok it's a hack, but it works.
