TEXT TO lcSvg TEXTMERGE NOSHOW PRETEXT 5 FLAGS 1
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
.
blah
blah
blah
.
ENDTEXT
STRTOFILE(lcSVG, lcSVGFile)

>The problem that I have is that the first line in the output file is always blank! The line starting with "...xml verison=..." is always line 2. How do I get it to be line 1, i.e. how do I eliminate the leading blank line. I've tried PRETEXT 1+2+4 too and it does not work.
