Yah, I've had some trouble with the Mystic ANSI editor stripping out random display codes and making it's own mess with ASCII files. Could definitely be user-error so I'll keep playing with it.  I've definitely used it many times to trim the NEWLINE off ansi.

I was hoping for some sort of display code that would function like a lot of frameworks "trim" function - that would remove whitespace from the end/beginnings of data or dump out of the current file before the end like a "break".

Unix/linux likes newlines at the end of text files. It seems like there'd be a more elegant way of handling that rather than using an ansi editor or running a utility script.  But maybe not.

Thanks for the tip!
