It came just fine. Thanks!
OK, I guess for important stuff like that I will do this in ED:
Shift-F8 Options
1 Line
4 Auto-Indent
y Yes
Enter,
etc. till back at the editing screen.
Then for the first line you space in the 2 spaces and from then on your words
will wrap to start at the same position as the line above.
For messages like this I have my tabs set to spaces because different readers
and viewers treat tabs differently and may mess up the look I wanted.
Thanks for the pointer!
If I don't want Auto-Indent on and I have just a few lines, I space in on the
first line, move to the beginning of the next line and press F6. That copies
whatever word is on the line above including spaces.
