Jeremy,

Thanks.  I guess I needed to keep fiddling with different alternatives!  Your solution 
worked perfectly.  I think I understand it now.  I just want to \ the HTML designator 
(for lack of a better word) which is the < and > signifying an HTML tag.  I was trying 
to \ everything.

Thanks for the help.

Mike

Analog is doing exactly what the docs say: It is sending the entities
out precisely as requested. And the entities are telling HTML to write
<BR> to the screen. You want to send out HTML, not entities, here so
try something like this:

HOSTNAME "\<BR\>Troy Seventh-day Adventist Church and Troy Adventist Academy"
