Having a brain lapse I think...

Any easy way (short of writing a script) to take an MPE file (ASCII fixed
record size- NOT bytestream) and delete all the blank lines in it?
(resulting in an ascii non-bytestream file with only non-blank records?)

Have basic MPE/iX, MPEX, and quad to work with.

I thought I remembered some wildcard (like %blank% ? ) that you could use to
delete a blank line in Editor or Quad, but can't find it in either's help.

TIA,

 Chris Bartram
