Bill,
I was unable to reproduce your situation. I did run across a couple of things that I thought might cause it, but didn't in my testing.
1) When you copy the text from the PDF, you not only have to contend with the line breaks, you also have to contend with the individual page numbers from the PDF file. 101 winds up at the end of:
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\AFD\Parameters\MaximumDynamicBacklog,4,%MaximumDynamicBacklog%,3,10000|%MaximumDynamicBacklog0%,15000|%MaximumDynamicBacklog1%,20000|%MaximumDynamicBacklog2%,40000|%MaximumDynamicBacklog3%,80000|%MaximumDynamicBacklog4%,160000|%MaximumDynamicBacklog5%
And 101 and 102 wind up as individual lines in the Strings section.
However, I tried it both ways, with and without, and re-registering the SCECLI.DLL each time. The only thing that did happen was the description entries in the right pane of GPEDIT had some errors.
2) The other thought was the SCEREGVL.PNF file, being present. This is like a pre-compiled INF file, and at times, the presence of a matching PNF file can over-ride the changes in the INF file. So, I left it in place, re-registered the DLL, deleted it, re-registered the DLL, with no change.
