    WV> first line of the file.   
      
   ignoring that first line isn't really a quirk... the first line(s) are   
   generally comment lines... most of the time the contain information about   
   who/what built the file... those comment lines start with a semicolon and   
   there can be additional comment lines further inside the document but most   
   processors will not keep them if they rewrite the file...   
      
   what i'm trying to say is that the only lines that should be being skipped are   
   those starting with a semicolon...
