URL File extra spaces

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Tom,
I think the filter command works on complete lines, not characters.  Maybe
try "replace space with empty in ...." instead.

Not sure why the spaces appeared in the first place but, as someone else
suggested, perhaps using binfile instead of file might fix it.
