I download it from IBMLink to my OS/2 machine using Communications Manager and                                                                        
IND$FILE.  Then I push it up to our VM System, also with IND$FILE, and put                                                                            
it into our VM Net News Reader.  I am not sure where the spaces get padded                                                                            
to 80?  How about this message? Is it padded to 80? I suppose somwhere along                                                                          
the line I gave it a fixed record length instead of variable.
