Just thought I should close this off. Turned out there was a file left
over from the edit session, buried in my .mozilla/whatever
directory. Must have missed it when doing the 'find' command due to
all the /proc and /dev entries.

Didn't get anyy result with Hugo's 'tr' approach, though I may have
mistyped something.
But Bob Dunlop's 'strings' technique came up trumps. So, many thanks!
