Thanks guys. I think it may just be the way that linux does things. When I edit in nano, it shows the line, but nothing changes when I delete it.

Cat does not show the extra line at all anyway.

If I edit it in windows in notepad++, then it shows and can be deleted resulting in the lowering of the file size by one byte.

Thank you all.

No, I dont use cygwin. I use windows at home and modify a remote vps server using winscp, putty, notepad++, nano etc.

NANO-TINY(1)						      General Commands Manual						      NANO-TINY(1)

NAME

       nano-tiny - Nano's ANOther editor, an enhanced free Pico Clone

SYNOPSIS

       nano-tiny [options] [+LINE] file

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the nano-tiny command.

       nano is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather than
       just copying Pico's look and feel, nano also implements some missing (or disabled by  default)  features  in  Pico,  such  as  "search  and
       replace" and "goto line number".
       nano-tiny is a special, minimal build of the program, aimed for Debian's boot-floppies or emergency disks.

OPTIONS

       -V (--version)
	      Show the current version number and author.

       -h (--help)
	      Display a summary of command line options.

       See the nano(1) manpage for the complete documentation of nano.

BUGS

       Please send any comments or bug reports to
       nano@nano-editor.org.
       The nano mailing list is available from
       nano-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.  To subscribe, email to nano-devel-request@lists.sourceforge.net with a subject of "subscribe".
