TextEdit, WorldText, these and others will package unwanted characters 
into scripts. Pico is great but, IMHO, BBedit is easier.

I use BBEdit as it will show non-printing characters, allows me to 
select characters sets and line endings, plus lots of other things. Try 
the free demo and see what you think.
