[nonspam] Re: [Xitami] Next question: edit .aut file

[Toni McConnel]

Well, I cut and pasted from FAQ, so I don't think the username password 
entries can be wrong.  Did the same thing with your suggestions, and 
with Rick's.  And Notepad has four different options for encoding when 
saving; I saved in all four (ANSI, Unicode, etc.).  Stumped.  I even 
totally reinstalled Xitami.  I'm out of things to try. 
Long experience as a computer user tells me that when the answer 
emerges, it will be something maddeningly simple.  Sigh.
