Joe:

	I am sure you will have a lot of replies to this one, but the problem
is that you most probably have right justification turned on.  This will 
line up the right margin but to do so it has to pad in extra spaces within
the line between words.  This will happen regardless of font, though it is
more noticible with a non-proportional font. To turn jsutification off,
thus getting one space in between words, and a ragged right margin, then 
you type in:

	Shift-F8
	Line
	Justification- No 

	Be sure to do this above the area you want changed to ragged right,
or place it in your initial codes if you want the deult to be justification
off.
