Your description above fits the proposal that it's
dropping all returns and then splitting them at 76.


The other line breaks in your code remain -
| for example:
| ---
| iCnt = iCnt - 1
| ReDim Preserve ASize(iCnt)
| ReDim Preserve APath(iCnt)
|
| QuickSort ASize, APath, 0, 0
|
| For i2 = iCnt to 0 step -1
| s2 = s2 & APath(i2) & " -- " & CStr(ASize(i2)) & " MB" & vbCrLf
| Next
| ---
| I'd thought maybe it was only long lines, but the s2= line above is
| long.
|
But it's under 70 characters. Without the
prepended spaces I see 65 characters. The
question, then, is why it's leaving returns on
some short lines. It's as though it recognizes
code vs prose.

I was trying to remember what this was that stored
redundant file copies despite the setting chosen. It might
be the specific software for the Learning Ally website,
but I'm not certain. I do remember that their whole
operation was poorly designed. It wasn't even possible
to choose an item in the webpage dropdown without
a mouse, at least at one point!
