I'll make a note to put the check back in. You do-it-yourselfers can =
find the code in the detab_text() function in XLE.E. It's a trivial =
test.
It's another example of stuff "falling out" after waffling back and =
forth. The original code didn't check for an newline, then I added the =
check, then people wanted the file load to go faster (Rob correctly =
pointed out that the line display is the most expensive part)... By now, =
I've forgotten if I left the test out intentionally, or not.
