Its the Line Feed/Carriage Return problem. *nix does it one way MS another. Notepad doesn't like displaying it. The answer is to get a decent editor that can open/save files in its native format. If your used to vi on *nix then the latest MS version is a great relief. See www.vim.org for all things vim. I think Notetab at www.notetab.com is good at native file support if you don't want vi. On my own side note most conf file reside in /etc and you want to be careful about sharing conf files even in a trustworthy network. -- Carl - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
