I still had the old file on my system.

As far as HPGL in FPE being a loophole, it is more like the individual
characters and lines being a pricing mistake. It should not cost five times
as much to type out "0 1 2 3... 10" individually as it does to type them out
as one line, but that is exactly what the pricing software does.
