I will spare you the details, but one of the changes in Jaws 5.1 is to=20 define the Number of Pixels per Tab. The change was made for terminal=20 emulation programs. But it seems it had an adverse effect on Windows=20 Messenger. So please try this for me and tell me of your results. In MSN Messenger, press insert six on the number row for the = configuration=20 manager. Press alt S for the set options. Enter on advanced. Enter 80 in the Pixels Per Tab edit box. Enter on okay and press alt f4 and enter on yes to save your changes. But I will tell you one thing, ha ha. By now I think I know every line = of=20 code in the messenger scripts by heart, grin.
