Thanks Martin
I have been using both those approaches as work-arounds for some time, but
the work-arounds are only of use if you know there is a continuation in your
data that has no text associated with it.  Ie if you don't actually do the
search with the text editor in all your *.th and *.th2 files there are no
visual cues.  A particular problem if you are checking data created by
someone else.

It should be sufficient to export a continuation-list to find this type of
anomaly in the input data.

Thoughts anyone?
Bruce
