PRESS RETURN AFTER EVERY LINE YOU TYPE.
Some devices are capable of "wrapping" input as you type.  But MCI Mail
requires a "hard" carriage return after every line of text.  We
recommend that your lines not be longer than 80 characters, and that you
press the RETURN key after every line.

USE CONTROL-L TO FORCE PAGINATION.
In the TEXT of your message, hold down the CONTROL key and press L to
force the subsequent text onto a new page when it is laser-printed.
(Note that CONTROL-L does NOT affect electronic copies of the message.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LASER-PRINTED PAGES ARE MAXIMUM 80 CHARACTERS WIDE, 54 LINES LONG.
The actual number of lines of text that appears on the first page of
your printed letter will vary, depending on the number of lines required
for the letterhead graphic (MCI Mail graphic uses 10 lines), and the
number of lines used for the recipient's postal address (maximum 5).
