	Even better than all these suggestions:  There is an
Editor (called QUED) on the market which allows, in one simple
command, to remove all the unwanted characters.  It also allows
you to see the ASCII codes, if you want, right in the text.  
I've used it for most of my program development, and found
this feature, as well as others which are not provided elsewhere,
quite convenient.
