EXCLUDE CHARACTERS directive corrupts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Use Open-Delta Editor to emend EXCLUDE CHARACTERS directive to exclude 
additional characters in a directive file
2.save edited file and run "TONATR" or similar directive file
3. observe that in the output file, most characters are now excluded 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
re-open the file with the EXCLUDE CHARACTERS directive, which now bizarrely 
reads:

*EXCLUDE CHARACTERS 2-4 4-5 5 5-6 6 6-7 7 7 7-8 8 8 8-9 9 9 9 9-10 10 10 10

Thanks for the report Robin.
If you don't mind sending me the DLT file it would help.
Cheers,

PS I have realised part of the explanation for this is that I was using illegal 
character range values (ie "73-5" instead of "73-75") however the resulting 
error still needs trapping

I have added validation that requires numeric ranges be coded in ascending 
numerical order which would have prevented this from causing a problem.  (The 
Open DELTA editor was treating 73-5 the same as 5-73).
However, if the range had been coded 5-73 both the Open DELTA editor and the 
original DELTA editor produce the output described in the bug report.
