Bill,

you might be right, I use Notepad++(free) with no issues as it is way
better than the regular notepad.

An other way is, in win7 anyway, to go to into the ucac4 folder with
Windows Explorer, right click on the address bar and select copy as
text. Go into guide and do control-j and paste it in.
