REPLY:

Because any carriage return makes the print scroll up the screen just
as the receiving station is trying to click on it. Very annoying. You
should use a <space> at the end, but not an <enter>.

I realize WriteLog uses a different display approach which makes this
moot, but a lot of folks are using other programs. WriteLog's
approach, while clever, has it's own drawback too. You have to scan up
and down to see where the print is going to come. With the other
programs, it always comes at the bottom.
