Which editor are you using?

I remember it popping up pretty often in html pages (even mine). I don't 
know which editor put them there, but, as I recall, the System Editor (e) 
maintains them silently (and can't be made to remove them),

epm CAN be encouraged to Do the Right Thing. Heck, epm can be made to do 
anything, but it takes a bit of encouragement sometimes.

On further reflection, I think that using OS/2's ftp command in ascii mode 
can stuff things up. Always use it in binary.

Failing all else, a few lines of Java will fix it;-)

The solution was to move to EPM.  However I did notice that EPM  preserves EOF
where it already exists.  To over come this I replaced all edited files and
started again.  Now all is right with the world.  Well almost!  Thanks.
