   Liz,   
      
   I put you code in as you said to do and I have it working. I like it!   
   I have noticed that when it replaces a CRLF it replaces it with two   
   spaces, which makes sense because it is two different character   
   values. But, I do not understand why a Tab is replaced with three   
   spaces. Shouldn't it be just one space? I do not see anything in your   
   code that would account for this. From what I see, it should be turned   
   into just one space.  Maybe you could enlighten me with why the tab is   
   turned into three spaces? Is this a default of Paradox?   
      
   Actually, my preference is that each bad character is replaced with a   
   null instead of the space. I currently have it doing this so I am a   
   happy camper.   
      
   I plan to study your code further and with a bit of luck, be on my way   
   to write my own OPAL routines.   
      
   I truly appreciate you going far beyond what I expected. Thank you . .   
   . thank you . . . thank you!
