WriteLog has no facility to strip out excess CRs on a given line, but then
the way its receive window works it doesn’t have to. In WL the received
text comes in on a horizontal red line. As the text fills up the red line,
or it receives a CR, it drops down one space and continues printing on a new
line. The previously received text does not scroll up the screen, rather
the receiving line scrolls down the screen.
All the received text stays in place until the red line hits the bottom of
the window. At that point it jumps back up to the first line in the window
to begin receiving there. All the other text stays in place on the window
until it is eventually overwritten by the red receive line moving down the
screen. So extra CRs in someone's macro do not cause the text to move up
the screen a line, but do cause the red line to move more frequently. This
usually leaves plenty of time to click on the call and the exchange without
having to chase the text line around.

If you're using N1MM, there is a check-box option to Remove Excess Line
Feeds. I think that's the wording. It will print one line feed but
strips out any more than that.
But as others pointed out, the best practice at the end of your macro is
just a space or two, no line feeds at all.
Don't know if WriteLog has this or not. Probably does.

Same with the exchange. 73
