   There are times in life when one has to "grasp the nettle" ;-)   
      
   OK, so it's working but(there always has to be a but, doesn't there?)   
   something weird is going on which is difficult to explain. Every message has a   
   short string of HI-ASCII characters at the beginning of the line underneath   
   the origin line. As SemPoint is a 16-Bit application, I'm wondering if it's   
   case sensitive and if so, perhaps this could be causing the problem. Here's a   
   directory listing of my "msgbase" directory:
