N1MM Logger has an option which will do this for you. Go to the Digital
Interface window, click Setup, then Settings then check the box which says
"Remove Excess Linefeeds From RX Window". This prevents more than one linefeed
at a time.
For some reason, that box is not checked by default. I think it should be.
There is another command that will help too. At the end of each macro EXCEPT F5,
add {END}{CLRRX}. That will clear the receive screen after the macro executes
and make the new text start at the top of the RX screen. If you accidentally put
it at the end of the F5 macro, it will interfere with ESM. One caution when
using this: Clearing the RX window also prevents you from scrolling back. If
scrolling back is important to you, you may want to either not use it or use it
only on certain macros instead of all.
Personally I never scroll back. If I don't catch something the first time I just
send AGN AGN. Much faster. :-)
