Hi James, List,

Today I caught a whole series. They show up as invisibles in TextWrangler; they encode as 0x1C.
To preserve the characters, I have zipped the file, see the attachment (although I suspect they get stripped in the list digest).
The script is a non-finished one ;-)

The characters came into existence when I changed the name has_warned to hasWarned using a backspace key on my laptop, which has a VPN to the XTension machine. So it looks as if they spell 'backspace', although the ASCII table says they are File Separator...

Cheers,
Ard
