Thanks Dan for this explanation.  The loop to read the lines using 'reader.read_line' seems to have done the trick.  

Thanks also for the other suggestions.  When I was reading about your extension mechanisms, I did think macro syntax would have been a better way to go, but I'll try to preserve my existing syntax first.  Perhaps something to add in a future version?

When I have my extension finished, I'll announce it here.

  cheers,

       Peter.
