Yeah, I considered writing/installing a tool to do it on the DOS side, but I don't know how much time it would actually save compared to just opening it in Memo and trimming a few characters off the top and bottom. Certainly an option, though. If I can build it into the tiny data sending program I run on the 48, that'll be most efficient.

And all of this is a bit academic anyway, as I've probably already spent more time writing in this thread than I stand to save by eliminating that step.
