OUTPUT TO TXT - help

I have a program that output to a txt file  several lines of text.
I note that each 78 lines I have a stranger character in a beginig of the 
line.

Can somebody help me?
Thank you
Mario

I thing this is something about page break.
If I made a Copy and Past to Word from the txt file, I note a New page where 
is this strange character and NO character.
What to do to have no Page break indication?
thank you
Mario

 ' First sorry for my English (i'm just a little frog!)

 ' IF you use REPORT TO feel your ASCII FILE ... ?
 ' just try this....
 '
 '

SUB main()
 REM FACDOS is a file in the current directory just for REPORT to work (more 
records than number of lines on printer >80)

 OPEN FILE SHARE ,0"FACDOS"
 CALL Test01()' Don't work
 CALL Test02()' OK
 END SUB


 ' First example , the ASCII file 'TEST.SBT' as a special caracter at ligne 
number 50 (TAB?)'
 ' (depend of your page length)
 ' so .. don't work
 '
 '
SUB Test01()
 DIM s$,pte%%
 pte%% = 1
 REPORT
 AFTER SELECT
      ? STR$ (pte%%,"0000") + " Un texte quelconque à répéter x
fois ..."
      pte%% = pte%% + 1
 END SELECT

 SET QUERY ON
 SET QUERY LOCK OFF
 SELECT ;
     ORDER REPORT alias.FACDOS
     TO "TEST.SBT"
 END SELECT
 CLOSE OUTPUT
 LOAD TEXT "TEST.SBT"
 EDIT TEXT
 END SUB

 ' The  ASCII file is not declared in select/ end select section

SUB Test02()
 DIM s$,pte%%

 REPORT
 OPEN "TEST.SBT" FOR OUTPUT ' *********************

Don't use OUTPUT TO unless you want to have printer formating. Instead,
use OPEN ... FOR OUTPUT.
