Hello,
No it is not on every line. I apologize for not making that clear. Once I 
answer yes it does read the line just fine. The document I am editing is a 
book from the bible. I have a HTML copy of the bible with each book in its 
own seperate file. I am opening up each book and copying the text to a txt 
file. THis way I can go in and edit the file so each verse is on its own 
line. I can then put it on my orbit reader 40 to read it easily in brail. I 
am also using the mac port version of emacs if that will make a difference.
