Marilyn,

That's what I thought too, but (repeated it again) openning the file 
without the '*' yields an empty file.  It looks crazy to me too.

I guess I am just going to write the file by pasting lines, or typing it 
in new.  The change in appearance and the failure to execute are too 
strong hints to ignore.

Thanks for your help.
