- Yup. It assigned the index to the char, so indices 0-31 became control
- characters. Not a problem until you hit a newline, which caused newscores

- pledit v1.02 avoids the problem, but not in a manner that could be called
- graceful. Basically it just doesn't crash on you when it hits the remains
- of the corrupted stuff.
