 -> Robert J. Holmgren:

XY-> Absolutely. Couldn't phrase it better. A La Carte was the
 -> beginning of the end, the road to perdition, the
   . . .
 -> new command that I can recall -- between II+ and Signature).

I trust you mean between III+ and Sig.

XY-> Ahhhh -- you lost me. Could you expand a bit on your
 -> understanding of nulls (Ascii-0's?) in functions? Could you
 -> give an example of a "loose partial null" that gets "hooked
 -> to a return"? Also, "the single-byte char in text" is which
 -> char? I think we use different lexicons! (Which is
 -> understandable, because these problems are so seldom
 -> discussed or described, thus no vocabulary exists for them!
 -> And virtually nobody understands why these phenomena occur.
 -> In III+, Sig, and early IV, it frequently happened in blocks
 -> of XPL that there were characters that appeared at the
 -> beginning or end of lines -- on the line wrap, in other
 -> words -- which didn't display properly, and which the cursor
 -> would "hop over" -- refuse to rest upon. Is this what

A III+ solution, which I use since most of my Xy files are
ultimately for either Ventura or Quark, is to simply move the
cursor CR while reading the cursor position before and after. If
a jump other than 1 or 2 occurs, CL and then linear right and
delete, since linear right doesn't "jump."

Good for short files anyway.
