If it was set to Unicode in Notepad, it would have saved as a UTF-16 
file, so the first characters would have been null characters. This was 
something I had considered, but I am used to terminals simply ignoring 
null characters on output, so I didn't know if the Swing stuff would 
have displayed it as nothing or a space. Apparently, it is the latter...
