I've seen something similar but could never find a way to fix it
during transfer and was never sure if it was a problem with the text
file (pretty unlikely) or with the file types the IDL application
registers with the Finder through it's resource fork (I'm suspicious).

BBEdit does a nice job of working with other program's text files
without mucking up their Finder information, and it will save in Unix,
Mac and PC text formats. It only opens a file when reading/writing,
so IDL can compile from the same file that you're editing with BBEdit.
The full version will even edit files over an ftp link if this is of
interest. http://web.barebones.com has info and downloads.

There's another utility called BunchTyper which I use for
mass-converting file types and creators. If you don't want to re-do
the downloads it might help.
