Bill....

No. It does not. The text keeps moving downward when a new line is required 
or a linefeed (enter) is received.... Yes, we know all about checking the 
box
to remove excessive line feeds.... But that doesn't take care of it.

Please understand fully before you say that N1MM does that too.  Please 
launch a digital window in Writelog and see for yourself. Or check out a 
screen shot on Don's
(AA5AU) web site.
