in reply to Stymied by formatting characters

Taking hv's reply as truth, you could try using Cygwin (external link). It gives you Unix tools for Windows, and should do the formatting codes correctly.

FYI--They're ANSI escape codes, documented at http://www.rt.com/man/console_codes.4.html.

manipulated, and ended up creating an object
system by accident.

    Hardburn,

    Thank you.

    I will try Cygwin. And thanks for the ANSI reference.
