A shame = that I just misuse it as simple text editor.=20 The Show Invisibles isn't bad but I thought more in the direction of = and not this sign which I have no idea how it is called. Probably not neces= sary at all but better have something you don't need than the opposite. Which makes me wonder if it matters which line endings I use. Classic Mac i= s CR, Unix LF and Windows CRLF. Just tried it. Makes indeed a difference. Which means that if I ever wanted= to port my little program to an other OS, I have to think to modify the te= xt file. Failed with a Name_too_short error either before reading the first= name or just after. Something which would make me search for hours to find the error in my code= which is correct but it is the stupid text file which causes the problem. How does the Text_IO "know" which line ending to use? Or is that hidden som= ewhere inside the compiler or whatever takes care of this kind of stuff. Hm= quite clear that I have no idea how compilers, assemblers or all the other= system libraries/frameworks work. Thanks Laurent
