You experimentalists are always ruining perfectly good theories!

I am hesitating on 2.1, but I have 2.1 RC1 and base64Decode seems to 
ignore whitespace OK in that.

Maybe it tries to get the last line to be compatible with the old 
method of pasting all three fields at once and the last line is blank.

(BTW, I went to the updated RunRev page on editions and clicked the 
link "This way please for a detailed explanation of your options..." 
and almost fell out of my chair laughing.)
