|Matthew, I did as you suggested but I have a bad feeling that that is

|\r has to be there so that MSIE4 can view the animation. (I think...  no

|NS3.04....

'-----------------------------------

All MSIEs for windows have the newline problem, since they act like the
Windows textbox (which of course these anims are in) whereby they don't like
lone newline characters. (you can see the effect if you load a Un*x/Amiga
created text file into Windows Notepad.) Windows likes to have a carriage
return+linefeed in textboxes. I think netscape sorts this out but MSIE just
shoves the text into the box as-is.
MSIE on the Mac probably wouldn't do this because it would use the Mac text
box control which interprets both cr and lf as newline characters (this from
memory, not based on any fact!) so the spaces could be caused by this.

So in short, llizard, you are probably right!
