Is x11.xml really SimpleText > format? > > -lloyd Here is the problem: TextEdit saves both plain text (.txt) and rich text (.rtf), but not SimpleText (Weird thing with Type & Creator codes) I think that IE is the problem (It adds extra type & creator codes to many files) I recommend using OmniWeb (Free: www.omnigroup.com) Here is the solution: Force format fix by pressing Cmd-Shift-T until it changes to a blocky monospaced type Run "File->Save As..." and replace the older file. This will also cause it to open properly in the future.
