I really appreciate your patience.

Once the lines are all "slurped" together, are they put back as they
were, or do I have to put all the linebreaks back in manually? For
maintenance purposes, I keep my HTML files at 72 characters.

I'm doing this on a copy of the backed up site on my machine before I
even try it on the hosting machine.
