Okay - this has stopped(!) producing the aforementioned error.
Some how the string for pound symbol was "<A3>" not "<C2><A3>". I think
the problem I have is that "<C2>" had been stripped, and that "vim" in
"vi" mode was doing something unexpected when I hit "shift-3", as it
must have thought it was already in a Unicode byte sequence, and didn't
check the sequence was properly started (or some such).
Now back to my original problem, the file name is "<A3>.htm" when it
probably ought to be "<C2><A3>.htm". Of course that is a terrible name
for a webpage -- but that isn't my problem, the code to move it around
just has to work everywhere.....
"cat" is my friend.
