A request to all contributors!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remember to press
your return (on Enter) key to end lines inside the screen!
About column 70 or so is fine.
It is difficult, and really incredibly frustrating, to read
a message that
goe
s like this
bec
ause of lines wrap
pin
g around the edge
of
the screen!

for example:
>.......
> Hi, I am using OS/2 Warp as well. However, and as seen by a friend, OS/2
runs
>very slow compared with Windows 3.1. I was just wondering what your system
is
>since mine's a 486DX33 with 8MB RAM. Or is it that your are using OS/2
>.......
>I take it you are running windoze programs as well? did you install WORKS?,
if
> you did this tends to slow the systems with lesser amounts of memory down.
>
>My home machine is a 486/33 8MB ram, and I'm still using 2.11 on it. I
don't r
>un any windoze programs at home so I can't directly compare speed differences.
>.......

Many of us will be very grateful, many of us won't notice until
we are trying to read lines too long for our standard screens...

May the Net be with you!
