Thanks, I'll try this.  I have the Online Bible on CD, and I want to save a
version in ASCII so that it can be "Braillized" and then loaded onto a Braille
Lite 40.  The Online Bible allows verses to be saved only in .rtf files. 
The older CD software could save in ASCII, but the new version 2.0 saves in
.rtf (basically ASCII with formatting commands embedded).  Looks like HTML.
