Hi Jim.  We know you found a workaround, but it sounds like
this would be a nice little enhancement to the Mif2Go macro 
expression operators.  We're thinking of something like:
  <$$MyFixedVar = ($$MyOriginalVar strip "\r\n")>
where any character listed in the right side would be removed 
from the var on the left side of "strip", and the result would
be assigned to the var at the start of the macro var expression.

We've already built this, but would like to test it with your 
case before posting a new beta.  Could you kindly send us a 
one-page test case, including the .fm, .mif, .prj, both .inis,
and all output files, all in one .zip?  Thanks!
