Is there any way to get rid of the squares? Those are 'end of line characters' that your Operating System doesn't understand. You'll probably see that if you're editing files that were created on Linux or Unix. Likewise, if you edit the files on a PC then upload them in your native format, to Unix or Linux they're going to end up having ^M's at the end of each line. Your best bet is to grab a fairly decent Programmer's Editor that can tell the difference and (re)act accordingly. Some good ones that come to mind are EditPlus (I've used it) or TextPad (I prefer it). You can find others in quite a long list here: <http://www.itworks.demon.co.uk/phpeditors.htm> -Brian -- PGP is spoken here: 0xE4D0C7C8 Please, DO NOT carbon copy me on list replies.
