That is very strange. I don't dare contradict your statement that 
someone has added that by hand, but who? Certainly not me - I have no 
idea about such things and would neither know to, or dare mess with 
stuff like this, and I am the only user of this machine. The only 
thing I can come up with is that by way of trying to be supportive, I 
paid £5 for the 5.14 CD at Wakefield last year and have vague memories 
of having a bit of trouble trying to use it when I got home, so I just 
gave up, happy to 'lose' the £5 to ROOL to help them. I am sure that 
this isn't remotely likely to be the cause but I can't think of 
anything else.

When you say the line is split, I presume you mean the copy of it in 
my previous reply. That is just the way that MessengerPro has 
reproduced it when I dragged/dropped it in from the file as being 
displayed by StrongED. The line in StrongED was all in one continuous 
line.

I'm not entirely clear about what you are referring to when you say 
'both' the lines. I've deleted the REMEnsure line and the END line, 
(see amended copy attached). Have I got it right or not, please?

Thank you very much for your help, I greatly appreciate it.
