Works fine in most instances

This works when posting to boards and in Word.

It doesn't when inserting into Notepad.
I am curious as to why.

I assume that it is supposed to be 4 lines and notepad makes it one?

13,10 is usual for ascii text -
13 is carriage return (CR), puts the cursor at the start of the line (x=0,y=y)
10 is line feed (LF), puts the cursor one line down (x=x,y=y+1)

and you only see the text in the last line (plus remnants, perhaps), as the previous text is overwritten   :P

That is, of course, on a text screen. Notepad seems to ignore CR if there's no following LF so the message is concatenated.

ah yes - that's right
it will display the ole box char where the CR is   :P

Thanks, putting in the LF made it perfect.
