Harry,
Many editors have a switch to hide or display the "non-printable" characters (i.e., <LF>, <CR> and others). Since these are by definition non-printable, they must be displayed as something other than a letter, number or normal ASCII character. Older editors (which knew nothing of the higher resolution screens or fancy fonts) sometimes use a square box for these characters. If you can find the switch to turn off display of these characters, toggle it and see if this cures your problem. Which SuSE editor? Advanced (KWrite)? Simple? VI? Under Office->Editors I find 6 in SuSE 7.3. Another option is to print the file and see if they get printed. If not, then this is exactly what they are, and the printer is using them for control characters (as it should). In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord, Tom :-}) Thomas A.
