Try setting the font to "Courier New" which is the font for the message window on the PC. I don't know what it is on the Mac, but the reason for the extra space is that Courier is fixed-width, and a " is somewhat thinner than an M. It didn't even look odd to me, so I can only assume the font is totally different on your system. Incidentally, one of the reasons we all generally use fixed-width fonts for code is that you can easily tell that there is no space. Simply look at the characters immediately above the quotes and you will see that there are exactly two in the same horizontal space. Since all the characters are vertically aligned in a grid-like fashion, there cannot be an extra character between the quotes, or the quotes would span the width of 3 characters. - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
