I have not tried this yet and I'm not sure I understand it. It may be linked
with the fact that we add the header lines of an ASCII file as strings when we
load an ASCII file. Or possibly with the off-by-one error Barth just fixed.
Barth, is the problem still here after your last fix and if yes do you already
know how to fix it? I see potential for problems according to how datasource
strings are saved and reloaded...
