numero = 20901

the CR being the characters for carriage return (according to the list I found) but neither of them have worked.Is there something else I'm missing here?-----Original Message----- From: PCS Technical Support To: WebDNA-Talk@smithmicro.com Date: Sunday, November 08, 1998 1:43 AM Subject: Re: Formatting a .txt file >>My problem is in formatting the text file onto an html (tmpl) page in html >>format.
