Re: Executable text files

The Applesoft interpreter won't like <tab> characters either! The result 
will be "?SYNTAX ERROR".

It's been a while since I've used BBedit, but many text editors have an 
option to insert spaces when the <tab> key is pressed. This would leave the 
code looking neater while keeping the interpreter happy.

Or you could just strip <tab> characters when you remove the "extra" 
<return> as Ed suggested.
