Verry interresting, Frank. I removed the ^Z and WP still didn't like
it. I used ^F5,1,2 and it came in pretty as a picture!!!  Thank you.
I never think of that method of retrieving files. <|=]
I tried to save it and the pathname was invalid. Saved it with
^F5,1,1 and then tried to retrieve it with F5,1 and still no go; WP
just sits there displaying "DOS text conversion in progress." Is
there something I've forgotten about retrieving ASCII files into WP
5.1+?
I found another ASCII file that I've had since before Internet that
won't F5,1 Retrieve either. Maybe these files got corrupted during a
Defrag, or WP 5.1+ did. I should possibly re-install 5.1+!
But, you solved the immediate problem, thank you, Frank.
