Solve : DOS text file size?

1.	Solve : DOS text file size?
Answer» Hi, Here's my DILEMMA and I certainly hope SOMEONE can help me with this. One of my students created a text file using the EDIT command. He added text to the file which was ONLY 5 characters. When he went to view the directory CONTENTS of the drive, the file size was reported as 7 (remember this is a text file and there were ONLY 5 characters). Why was that? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks2 spaces at the end of the characters or elsewhere on the page?
