    It was a _request_, nothing more. It is NOT GEnie, BitNet or Usenet 
 that chokes on longer line lengths. GEnie does expand the port by one
 character because I invoke the 'no format' command to maintain the same
 appearance as when posted. This, will then cause line-wrap when moved
 to the PC-Board based RIME network.
    The above is merely for purposes of explanation. As I noted in my
 original request, and have repeated above... this is a request. It will
 just make life easier for me, when crossing boundaries.
