thanks, John.

as I now get 'stuff' from another source, the other source doesn't use ':'
but uses TABS to separate label from data;

I've duplicated TABdelete to TABreplace and, modeded '32' string to '58',
so, with the 'new stuff' I can run TABreplace followed by Colondelete,
that seems to work well


I'll test leading space deleter later, I've also kept the original
(renamed) SPdelete.

I'm testing screen scraping on a PC, emailing to the Palm, then processing
(which is most convenient compared trying to do web stuff on the tiny
screen), the resulting file is somewhat different (in terms of TABs and
stuff), also, testing with another source.

but the set of scripts you made make a pretty good 'web page sanitizer'
