        Hello.  The other problem that makes this problem harder to diagnose
is that I find it exhibits itself on different files at different times.
That is, I may see the problem in file "A" at one time, but then later,
file "A" is fine and there's no problem.  
        One thing I can say for certain is that the problem is not dependent
on whether you've converted a daisy file to text or if you just used a text
file directly when you sent it to the bookport.
