Dear all, 

For some reason, in my .cha files, it automatically appeared a new file header at the very begining called @Window with several numbers after. I tried to check in the manuals to figure out what this is, but I couldn't find anything. 

I think I can remove automatically with a command this line in all my files at once, but I would like to know if it happened to someone or anyone knows the reason about it. 

Best regards and thank you very much in advance,

Dear Remei,
     CLAN inserts this line in order to allow you to maintain a resizing or repositioning of a window after you exit and want to later restart editing.  That line is supposed to be hidden when you open up the file in the CLAN editor.  Is it possible that you created the file with CLAN, but then opened it up later with some other editor, such as TextEdit or Word.  
     If that is not the situation, we should investigate further.

Dear Brian, 

Thank you for your fast reply. It actually happened opening the files with CLAN (and I couldn't even use the command check because it always appear that error), but I opened them in another computer that I don't normally use. I tried later to open the very same files in another computer and I didn't have the problem and everything was fine. I don't know what was the reason for that, but at least it's fine. 

Thank you very much, 

Best regards,
