Up to now, knowing no better ;-), I have opened the file in, or copied and 
pasted the contents of a file into, a word processor and turned on the 
non-printing characters.  It is then easy to see extraneous spaces, empty 
lines etc.  I then go back to the editor and do the revealed editing.

Rough, ready and cobbled - but easy, and it works. ;-)

If you use Windows and have no idea what I am talking about, I apologise.  It 
is so long since I used Windows that I have forgotten much of what it can and 
cannot do; and I don't know whether it can do this.
