  Anne, there you are!  I miss you in INK.  BTW, some of us no good modem 
bums who were trained on typewriters years ago and who spent too many hours 
keyboarding to BBSes still use two spaces when typing monospace stuff.  I 
still use a typewriter for typing multi-part forms too.
  
  There was only one spell checking program that I ever saw that allowed a 
person to select for one space or two space at the end of a sentence.  Some 
manuscripts and academic papers that are required to be in monospaced font 
would need to have two spaces.
  
  Be seeing ya!
