My solution set is: a. from DOS to MAC, I use MacSink on the Macintosh. Here I will strip the [] from the beginning of each line using the Convert/Strip Controls menu item. b. from Mac to DOS, I use an EMACS style editor such as Jove, MicroEmacs, or my old FinalWord II. FWII has a Convert-to-Ascii command and a Convert-to-FWII as well as the ability to insert the ^J. Or snap it over to a Unix system using Kermit. Good luck, Steve
