Wonder if any of you out there can help a novice?  I have been tryting 
to upload a post composed off line to another confernce. The Site I call 
is operating a program called Waffle(???)  It only has Xmodem to utilize 
for uploading.  When ever i try to upload, the transfer goes okay, but 
the system tells me that there are illegal characters in line 0 (hex 
FFC4)
i have looked at my file with a sector editor and line 0 is simply 
hex0020 (Spaces)
I have tried with other posts created off-line and have had teh same 
results.

Can anyone suggest what is happening? and how I might get around this 
problem?

Your time and assistance is appreciated
