I was using Silver platter on line when this letter came through.  I have
been using the "print" command, that over the network writes a file to my
(Mac) hard drive.  I set up to print CITN, AB.  THen I use BBedit to open
the file , which strips those pesky linefeeds (the bane of co-habiting with
DOS types).  I also do a global search and replace for the funny control
characters that contaminate the file, which S.P. uses to "highlight"
characters (as if I didn't remember what I was looking for!  I have asked
the Librarian to turn this feature off, but she thinks it looks cool on
screen) Then I re-save with a new file name.

Overall this takes about 2 minutes, rather a pain for a single reference,
but really worth it ('cuz you get abstracts too, free) for 10 or more.
