Hi Frank,
I do not have any leading or trailing spaces. I am using the box
drawing characters to display a rectangular box and the sides of the
box is made of two verticle lines with spaces between each set. For
example " || || ". I have about 30 spaces
between them but the display only shows about 5. I thought is might
be an issue with tabs being used to create the file and kermit
consolidating this down to on space for each tab but I tried deleting
the spaces and entering them again with no success.
