I will file a bug report to Mark > Cinelli tomorrow. That's not a bug of GSXEdit. The default format it uses when saving a new file is Teach format ($50/$5445). You can tell it to save it as a normal ASCII file (either in the File menu, or in the Save dialog itself). The rez fork keeps track of fonts/styles/sizes/colours used in the document. Why did you cut out the portion you wanted, and then paste it back in? Couldn't you have simply selected everything around the BASIC program and hit Delete? Much easier that way. Brian T.
