So, it turns out that the string is not empty.  It's only at a printout
stage when the '+AFw-r' sends the cursor back to the beginning of the line and
then the '+AFw-n' causes a linefeed, the line that was printed gets blanked.
The next stage of the program which analyses sub-strings from the main line
string works fine...
