I think this bug fix should be given top priority since this is causing a bit of data loss. Some users won't know what to do when reopening the file in Toolbox and may end up choosing the wrong database type. -Jon

I think this is quite important, and hopefully it wouldn't be that hard to do?

It would also be helpful if you left the blank lines before the \lx fields. I know, not all that many people open Toolbox files, but some do.

The scenario for this is like this:

- I have worked on a file in SOLID.  It tells me the structure is fine.
- I go to import that dictionary into FLEx. It complains about the structure.
- I open the file to find the lines that FLEx complained about, and to see what it is finding wrong with the structure.
- It is hard to see the structure, because there are no blank lines between the records--everything blends together visually.

I usually have to look at an SFM file repeatedly during import, jumping to the line numbers that the "Import Preview Report" tells me had problems. So this is really not so unusual.
