Thanks Mudguard, I am just in the process of downloading text pad. I have a lot to learn about HTML but I think that an editor with syntax highlighting will prove useful to me.I am not sure about the error but my guess was that maybe the Netscape program allocated a buffer of a certain size to do whatever it does when reading the HTML and maybe encoundered a line too lone - too much data with the end result of it reading another part of memory containing some previously stored data. Could be anything I suppose but I'm sure cutting down the lengths of lines has to be a good move anyway.
