You need to use ^M characters to do this. ^M does Carriage Return without Line Feed. ^M here represents CTRL+M on a vt100 keyboard. ie neb^Mnbe^Mbne^Mben which I presume is the sort of thing you mean. ^M is a 7 bit code, so as long as the finger program of the person doing the fingering does not pipe through less or anything, you should have no problem. ben neb enb Just to be friendly, I have included some ^M's below for you. You won't be able to cut and paste them, but if you save this news article a file, you can edit it into your .plan . Alternatively, you can use ^\^M in emacs to produce ^M's. +-----------------------+----I think that when the aliens come,----+ | Ben Liddicott | they will look like us, talk like us and | | b.l...@ic.ac.uk | think like us.
