Hi Marty,

EleBBS assumes that the filename (and date/size/new indicator) will
all fit on one line. Are your filenames so long that its causing it to wrap
a second line?  An example would have been helpful.

Assuming that's whats occuring, my only suggestion would be to
force a C/R immediatly after the filename by using a pipe character
in the list format.   This trick is sucessful at allowing the description
to start at a seperate line so it might also work in your situation.

If your filenames themselfs are causing the wrap, and its not the
addition of the date/size/new stuff then the only solution would be
to use shorter filenames.

Did adding the /T to your optdata fields fix your searchs?

Regards,  Mike
