Nobody actually sends TOO. That is what prints when the FIGS shift
character in front of 599 is lost or garbled.
If everyone would do two things those mis-prints would be greatly
reduced:
1. Be sure Un Shift On Space turned on (USOS), which is the default for
most software anyway. Just don't turn it off.
and
2. Put a space between elements of your exchange instead of hyphens or
other characters such as a slash.
USOS is a great help but hyphens and other characters defeat it. Please
don't use them.

Hi Bill Et Al
And, don't put a bunch of <enter> commands at the end of your lines. Just a
couple of spaces is fine. But, put an <enter> at the beginning of your
macro's for a clean line.
Line feeds have you chasing the callsign or reply all over the screen. 73
