White Smoke is a little too intrusive, meaning that I seldom agree with the suggestions it comes up with - and this to such a degree that I have removed it from start!

I agree.  I had occasion to try this software not long ago, and though it identified some errors correctly, it sugggested changes for perfectly correct statements that made them incorrect, sometimes ludicrously so.  I found it too unreliable to use or recommend.  :down:

One of the sections in my LBC is excessively large.  I don't mean that it has too many entries, but rather that it takes up an excessive and needless amount of space.   When I open most sections, they look more or less like this:



But one is absurdly larger:



I see no reason for this section to be so large.  Certainly the names of the files aren't very long.  The one difference I can identify is that included in this listing is one that is a menu with its own child nodes, but none of these has a long name.  As you can see, the size is really excessive.  Is there anything that can be done to make this listing be more like the others in size?

cyberdiva: some editors do support unicode documents, but fail to auto-detect document encoding if the document doesn't start with a BOM... kinda similar to the broken webpages not specifying document encoding.

Thanks for the info, f0dder.  AFAIK, the program I had trouble with most recently unfortunately does not support unicode: askSam 7, a flexible database program that I like a lot (when I don't hate it  ;D ).  There have been a number of messages on their forum complaining about the total lack of unicode support.
