Well folks, as promised heres my summary (since there was little interest)

Some people suggested using external echo commands (xecho, etc) which are
available for anonymous ftp from various sites. This is not useful for me
since I am not using echo only.

Another person suggested trying an embedded backspace which might erase the
CR/LF characters in the file. I did try this before posting and could not get
it to work.

The most useful suggestion was to concatenate the strings in the dos environment
and then output the variable to a text file. I will try this (albeit clumsy)
method as soon as I have the time.

Thanks for the replies

Shiraz
