I'm not certain what "attempted to post" means, so here's the deal...
  1. What did you attempt to post?
    [as mentioned, .sol files contain control chars, including "null" 0x00... which may possibly cause the gateway to stop reading input.]

  2. What steps did you take?
    [i.e., was TextEdit the "go-between" or what then?]

  3. Details, details.

  4. Is it still a problem?
confused



Ignore this test (84 chars):
Code:
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234
.........1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6.........7.........8....


Yup, i think 80 is a good compromise. I believe 80 chars was the original "tty" width in Unix (or something like that).

AH-HA. Someone has tweaked the width again!
Looks like we got 83 now! (before scrollbar)

Oh wait... it depends too on how much my font/zoom is set (doh).
Okay... so it's 83/84 chars at "actual size"... and then when i zoom,
it becomes 80/81. That's great. I think the experiment was a success.
