Jay,

This did not make a difference in my script.  However, I did what you
suggested, and tried the simple script it Windows, and it works as it
should.

(It's really annoying because it works on the Mac and Linux!  (I just
tested my script on the Mac as well.)  It only doesn't work on
Windows, though clearly the file processing I am doing SHOULD work.)

Now I have to find out what it is about my code that's causing the
problem...  :-(
