The trouble is; viewing filename.html with lynx or links it's double spaced.. I thought 'no problem,' we have the standard end of line thingy so I'll just edit filename.html substituting a space for the

entries... Oh yeah--grin--lynx and links still view it double spaced.. I tried several other 'fixes' to no avail.. Some crash and burn.. Retyping the entire ascii text file into AbiWord and saving as a html file is fine, but I much prefer composing all files with a CLI editor.. Call me old fashioned?? Whatever.. I used WordStar for too many years I guess... (Failing eyes doesn't help) Any suggestions?
