REPLY:

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
