Yes, I understand that but I was thinking of the LINE-cut-in-two
problem. It's nice to have the other stations exchange always start on
a new line so I can follow the text with the mouse and click when his
exchange info comes up. When the line starts in the middle of the
screen it seems I follow the text across and just as his info is ready
to print, the carriage returns and I have to chase it back across the
screen.  A minor point, but it's nice to have it the easy way.
