I must admit that everything you said is correct, with one minor
exception.
When i did that copy & paste the result did not work, *but* when i
over-typed the copied section, it did work and verified good.
Hell, the working example that Martyr2 gave presented some problems:
one save was via File/ SaveAs and another save was RightClick/
ViewPageSource/ Edit/ SelectAll/ Copy/ Paste to notebook & save.
Both versions worked, but DOS FC said there were a number of
differences; and *no* differences were visible!
Oh, even that they looked absolutely identical, one was 1K larger
(one cluster; could have been a difference of as little as one character).
It is that kind of crap that makes it very difficult to know what is
really going on.
