I am using MS-DOS Kermit v3.15 to transfer files from a handheld
computer to a PC. As part of this routine I use the echo command to
display box drawings, two verticle line in particular, with many
spaces between them. It appears as though some of these spaces are
being discarded. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ECHO by itself should cause a blank line to be displayed.
If given some text to echo, ECHO strips leading and trailing blanks
and then displays the text. The following commands have the same effect:
echo this is some text
echo this is some text
To have leading and trailing blanks preserved, enclose the text in
curly braces:
echo { this is some text }
