[hlx] extra character generated when \newcommand expanded

[Paul S. <wat...@ul...>]

Hi HyperLatex users,

I am running on Debian sid.  I have edited the file with both Emacs 22 
and 23.  The errors described are reproducible on two different Debian 
sid machines.

I have a strange error from some code which has been used in many 
variations by at least two people for over five years.  I get these two 
errors from the grossly reduced code below and attached (does this list 
allow attachments?).

On my screen the second error message contains the � which appears at 
the end of the expanded \newcommands just after the string network which 
is what breaks the file name.

Title of work is "Network Essentials�* CIS119�"

Hyperlatex ERROR: I can't find the file network.assignments.tex

The reduced code:

\newcommand{\class}{CIS119}
\newcommand{\classname}{Network Essentials}
\newcommand{\classprefix}{network}
\newcommand{\college}{Pima Community College}
\htmltitle{\classname{} * \class{} }
%\htmltitle{\classname{} * \college{} * \class}
\begin{document}
%\input{\classprefix.syllabus.tex}
\input{\classprefix.assignments.tex}  % Networking
\input{\classprefix.bio.tex}
\end{document}



TIA for any ideas,

Paul Scott
