In an earlier discussion I asked about searching for and changing line 
break types. The discussion that followed was very useful, thanks to all 
who participated and took the time to answer.

After further digging it turns out what I was seeing was the result of a 
mixture of line endings in the same file. Text snippets were being inserted 
by Typinator using CR format while the text I was entering was using LF 
format line endings. BBEdit was doing exactly whet is described on page 120 
of the current user manual. I'm assuming in those circumstances reports the 
line endings based on the first line break in the file. Any other line 
breaks are displayed as the infamous red '¿' character.

So what I was seeing as MC Classic (CR) files was actually a mixture and 
this is probably why they failed to display correctly when posted to 
scriptogr.am. As an aside Typinator should translate all line breaks to LF, 
as this is the standard representation on OS X.

Normalize Line Breaks appears to fix this using the format of the first 
line break rather than the line break preference set in the prefs.

Cheers,

Steve
