Re: Adjusting spacing between stanzas in 2.13.38

[Karl Nelson]

Thanks, Mark, for the reply. I'll try 2.13.39, which I see was released 
yesterday.

Should I decide to hop off the bleeding edge and go back to the last stable 
release, does anyone know how I'd accomplish this spacing issue with 2.12.3? Or 
is my only hope of doing this to use 2.13.39?

thanks,
Karl
