Wordpad + unix == bad unless you specifically save as plain text. Either
use notepad, vi, or some other text editor that works with plain text
natively ;)

Try opening the file in notepad, re-formatting the text if necessary and
re-saving it. That's probably the simplest way if you're not able to
start from scratch again.

If you have the original files you could always just cat them together
from the unix command line with 'cat file1.cfg file2.cfg file3.cfg >
my_new.cfg'. then use vi or pico to edit it there.
