    AT> Hello All. New Winpoint user here, after many years away from Fidonet.   
      
   Welcome back and welcome to the world of WinPoint :-)   
      
    AT> Installation was painless,   
      
   Excellent :)   
      
    AT> especially compared to the days of struggling to get   
    AT> X00/Binkley/QuickBBS, and all of the required axilliary programs running.   
      
   Ah yes, happy days! ;)   
      
    AT> One nagging issue I am having, it that during message entry, every   
    AT> character I type appears to be followed by a space, no matter what font   
    AT> or font size I try.   
      
   I've *never* seen that happen here.   
      
    AT> Also, after I first got it configured and running, I exited by hitting   
    AT> the "X" in the upper right corner.   
      
   I *always* do that.   
      
    AT> I suspect that this didn't properly close all of the files, because I got   
    AT> an error when I tried to run it again.   
      
   No errors here, how strange ??   
      
   Do you remember what the error message was?    
      
    AT> Reinstalling, and telling it to overwrite the configuration files got it   
    AT> fixed.  Since then, I have used FILE|EXIT to quit, and haven't had any   
    AT> trouble.   
      
   Well, at least you've fixed it :)   
      
    AT> Is this a known issue?   
      
   Nope.
