Those CTRL-J's were the only control characters I ever typed directly.
All others were done with CHR$ as in PRINT CHR$(4);"OPEN FILE".  I never
put a CTRL-D in the quotes because if I edited the line, passing the
cursor over it would lose the control character.  I didn't edit my
routine header lines so the CTRL-J's weren't a problem.  :-)
