Dear Matt,

I tried your code, so that we could learn how to write to a file, which I
hadn't been able to do so far, and it worked OK, including the new lines.
(Thanks for the help, albeit this was not your immediate objective.)

The new line came through OK as a newline, (extra newlines and text also
worked OK) when read in both WordPad and in the Browser (I didn't bother to
use an binary reader as it was working OK).

Could this be a browser problem? I have had very variable results from
different browsers. I used Internet Explorer 4.0 SP1, in testing this code.
