Hello, Daniel,

I've opened them up in text editors and looked for "invisibles", etc.
David Annets also looked at a couple of files I sent him (with these "bad"
bits in them) and wasn't able to reproduce the problem I'm having. So it may
just be this installation of Mathematica, or something screwy with its
implementation on this processor (as remote a possibility as that might be) 

Because I'll have to reinstall on a newer, faster computer sometime this
week or next, I'm not worrying about it at the moment; perhaps this esoteric
problem will disappear on its own! I also want to try (but haven't got around
to it) the same experiments at home, on some different installations, and see
what happens.

Thanks for the suggestion. It was one of my first ideas, but hasn't panned
out.

Curtis
