this sounds ominous,
could you please elaborate?


Sorry Erik - just noticed the Subject line, and realized that I may have misinterpreted what you were asking about.

There's nothing ominous about the fact that Notepad can't interpret the code from a stack file; I'm not talking about cutting/pasting the script from a stack into Notepad - that works fine. I'm talking about opening the stack file in an editor, and then picking out the parts that are script; the stack is mixed binary and ascii data, and Notepad fails to interpret the line endings in the ascii part - so you get very long lines all bundled together. Wordpad and Emacs are quite happy to interpret the binary sections in their own way - and still let you see and edit the ascii parts cleanly; because they recognize line endings OK, the text parts look fine (except for the first line of a script, which is usually tacked onto the end of a string of binary data)
