Hello Mystic Gurus!

I'm working on making widescreen versions of the mystic message base reading
screens.  I've got everything looking pretty/functioning pretty great at
132x36!

But, I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do with the Message Base
Listing screen - the screen that displays all the message listings for any
selected message area.

I've changed the PROMPT (399) that outputs the message information so it uses a
(pipe)DF and moved the exact PROMPT line into that asc template:

\12\&5\07\$L06\&1 \$R29\&2 \$R15\&3 \$R15\&4 \$R08\&6

(backslashes/strokes are actually pipes)

It almost works!  I'm able to configure the line based on the screen width as
I hoped.  BUT, for some reason it outputs an empty line between each message.

So my question:  How do I surpress this extra line?  I'm not sure where it's
coming from.  There's only a single line in my .asc file, and the prompt has
nothing except the DF code.

If you want to see what I mean, login to bbs.mynameisgabe.com with a screen
size of 132x36 or larger.  Go to the message bases and drill down into one of
the echomail areas with a lot of messages.

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Grim
