FF char (12{a.) gets a spelling error if in a script that is loaded in
linux. I think this would be the same as in windows but have not tested.There are lots of values that will give spelling errors. I am not sure it makes sense to special case (i.e. ignore FF). If the FF is desired for its behavior in an editor, that is OK. But it and perhaps other chars should be stripped out before being fed to load.
