cut those lines back to something around 70-75 character.

Sorry. I use 1024x768 X-windows. I don't use all
them big giant Old-Guy fonts.

Neither do I - this is a 17 inch display running at 1280x1024, but each
desktop (there are 6) had three or four xterms which are about 92
characters wide. I only switch to full screen width (200 characters
wide) when I'm writing scripts that may have long lines.

The concept is that most text windows start at the old 80 character wide
idea from teletype days - not that I really expect that many people even
know what one is, never mind having seen one. Most news tools will actually
default to something around 75 to 80 characters width. The lower number
allows room to insert quote indications.

Wasn't on my system. I lied, I'm not running RedHat 4.3,
I'm running Scientific Linux 4.3.

Didn't think it was RH - Enterprise is stuck with whole number versions,
and the original Red Hat 4.x from 1997 only went to 4.2 with a 2.0.30
kernel.

I got it working. Thanks. I'll have to let all your guff slide this time,
cause you gave the right answer.

I try.

I'm pushing 60 myself. Be respectful to your elders.

Child - I'm more than a few years older than that. (Well, 65 is more than
a few) ;-)
