I think you are thinking about the automatic LF+CR at the end of the 
line. It was adjustable for line length. All the TT-98 models had that 
and I think there was a version of the TT-4 that had it too.
The TT-98C & D also had automatic LF for *_every_**_CR_*.

I was trying to think of a way they (KLI) could have made the machine 
smarter to alleviate the problem.  KLI never had anything like the M28's 
stunt box. This M28 mod solves most of the problems, but relies on the 
"standard" CR-CR-LF sequence (which would have been pretty standard in 
the military). But what about at the end of a message, wasn't there 
supposed to be a set number of LFs before the "NNNN"? That would vary 
depending on whether the receiving machine had this mod. I guess it was 
not as big a problem as typing over a line.

have fun,

Duncan
