does not stop this! I am not aware of any "\n" type sequence for inserting a new-line. Saying that, is there a protocol for inserting an ascii character-number? &013 decimal (&015 oct, &0x0D hex) to put an LF in a string, and would that work OK? --Regards, Woof Woof, Glug Glug-- X E M U * Who Drowned theJUDGe's Dog ? s p 4 \ |\ answers on ( alt.religion.scientology /~~~~~~~ @----, and on page (/x/clam/faq/woofglug.html -;'^';,_,-;^; : : : :http://www.demon.net/castle/x/clam/index.html ___________________________________________________________________ OT8 Cognition:"Source is the 8th Dynamic"[LRon Hubbard is God]BWAAH! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
