That fact didn't leap into the gray matter without effort.  I had to think
about it over a couple cups of coffee.  Too much CRS going on these days to
bring back some of those notes!

Steve,

OK. I've never worked with a WX machine, but now that you mention it,  I do
vaguely remember that "Blank" was used.  And I should have remembered that
the punch block controlled spacing. That should have been a clue!!

Thanks,

machine, but not on a standard communications version machine.  The function
of the punch block was to control whether a particular character would cause
the carriage to 'space' or not.  Therefore a "blank" would not cause a
'space' except on a weather machine and even then only in FIGS when it had
printed a minus/dash sign.
