I just used the disk drive for the BNS for the first time today, and I
have to say I am really jazzed.

You may recall that I had put in carriage returns so that if I needed to
read back, it would be easier.  Well, it wasn't easier when I uploaded
the file to the disk.  I immediately put it on my word processor and
what a terrible mess.

For the most part it worked all right but the problem was when I had
made corrections, I had all these broken lines that didn't make much
sense so I went back and deleted all the carriage returns except for the
paragraph and I had put in line feeds there.  It was a large document
and I got lots of practice but I did it.  I remember reading in the
manual that if you don't put in returns the BNS would put in soft ones.

Once I removed the carriage returns, it looked really fine.  Then I read
your message and appended the line feeds but couldn't see any real
difference.

Perhaps what I should do is try putting in the returns again but this
time when I upload append the line feeds.

I am really empressed with the little thing.  Thanks for your interest
Regards,

Diana

PS have you used a modem with yours, I don't think I am ready for that
yet.
