I went nuts trying to figure out why just a few text strings were screwing-up a binary file. I finally figured out why. It turns out, only those strings that had a meta or option key character in them were the ones responsible.

I doubt that I'm doing anything wrong because the other strings save without a problem. So is this a bug or just an RB limitation? BTW, what exactly is a Pascal String?

P.S. Well what do ya know! I wanted to include a sample of these meta characters in this post and Netscape gave a warning message that these characters might make my message unreadable.
