It only seems to happen with two FORWARD slashes immediately followed by
another character (your test pic you sent of that house didn't have these!)

for example :

//_ ("forward slash forward slash underscore" - will produce file://_ in
OE5)
//  ("forward slash forward slash" - will produce // in OE5)
\\_ ("backslash backslash underscore" - will produce \\_ in OE5)
\\  ("backslash backslash" - will produce \\ in OE5)

BTW I am not at work at the moment and so I am using OE4.. I shall see if
I am right tomorrow morning!  Yes, it is the FULL release of OE5.. the
beta versions didn't do that.

The thing with the spaces, as far as I can tell, is that if the line has
a single space at the beginning, it will remove it.  Two or more spaces
and they remain intact.  The simple answer is to always start ASCII art
with some spaces to the left!

Lets cross fingers then.. and Happy Birthday Martin!
