Hmm. What happens if you don't? That is, what happens if you load a file that just leaves them as spaces? It's interesting that they store this information. I guess it ensures that the WP-2 will display the file exactly he way it did before. But such line breaks are typically done by algorithm as you type, the algorithm always works the same way, so why store it? Maybe it's an optimization? So it saves a pass of the line break algorithm during loading. Also interesting is how this interacts with line breaks with hyphenation. I can't remember if the WP-2 supports automatic hyphenation As to the software version of the WP-2... I can't remember off the top of my head when it shows it. Maybe at a cold boot after the battery is replaced. Or maybe it can be triggered from the menus. -- John.
