I noticed this too. Since I am now aware of that my editor does not
add a CR and TR doesn't either, I do it manually, but when quickly
editing during running a contest, it can be forgotten. I'd rather
have my logcfg.dat with some extra blank lines as added when
programming messages with ALT-P.
>because the only way I know to change this is by direct file
editing (yuck).
Try ALT-P O 8
