     Ah, but i do use a different editor(Everest) so i don't think its 
     that, however i'm begining to suspect my hard drive as the problem
     as there were large blank gaps exactly where the strange corruption
     occured ( looking at the messages in the news folder).
     
     I think i'm going to invest in Diamond Edge 2 cos i'm due a major 
     disaster( a bit like California ).
