 From the BBEdit User Manual:

   This command displays a sheet which allows you to remove or  
replace various non-
   printing characters, often known as “gremlins”. Use this command  
when you have a
   file that may contain extraneous control characters, or any non- 
ASCII characters, which
   you wish to identify or remove.

It allows you to selectively remove non-ASCII characters, control  
characters, and/or null (ASCII 0) characters, and either delete them,  
replace them with their character code, or replace them with a  
specified character (defaulting to the standard bullet (•) character).

I can't answer Trevor's question, but hopefully that clears up what  
he's asking for those of you who haven't used BBEdit before.

Thanks,
Jeff
