 I can't really call myself a newbie after a year at this but MPE is
always doing something slightly odd which makes me feel all stupid
again!

If I create a file using "listf > out" I get a 256 byte file.  If I
create it using "listf ; out" I get a 258 byte file.

I know one of those extra bytes is down to it deciding to create a CCTL
file in the second case but why the extra byte?  What's that for?

Thanks

Peter
