Well, I'm not sure why that "not" character kept appearing before the  
© symbol, (could it be an RB bug in 2007r4?) but as I needed a "Text  
To HTML Code" function for another part of my program, I've used that  
routine to convert the string to html-safe code. So from the above  
example, the string on file now looks like:

CopyrightText=&copy;

Seems an unnecessary step if you ask me, but works now all the same.  
Obviously, I decode it when it's read back in! :)

All the best,

Mark.
