While loading AR 1060 into an AREDIT window, it stopped and asked me some foolish question about "BRAVO conversion" in the promptwindow.  I guess I said "NIL".  Then after editing the AR, and bugging PUT, it created a wholly new AR -- 2231, which I subsequently emasculated of all of its fields so that it wouldn''t "show up".'
'
WHat happened?  A second attempt to work on 1060 succeeded, and this time, after PUTting, it no longer asks about BRAVO conversion.'

Hmmm... somehow, a ^Z got into the end of the description field, and Tedit thought it was a Bravo file when AREDIT included it into the AREDIT form.  If it happens again, just answer yes...it won''t hurt the AR.
