I have seen this little problem before where people post like

>>>>>[First Line
>>>>>second line
>>>>>Third Line


I think one way to help solve this is to make the example line in the text
a bit longer


>>>>>[ This is where you would put your message. If you want state a place
or money amount, just put it in >>encrypt<< and it shall be left rather
open. This is highly suggested for money as different people pay different
amounts for different jobs.

Remember that a new paragraph is always has one space between it and the
old one, and is NEVER indented.

This is where you put in your clips and such. You don't need any meesages
about the program running. Just type like its from a third person
impersonal point of view. And remember to end in. ]<<<<<

You are indeed right, I am not a complete idiot, my hardware let me down.
Thank you for recognising the fact (though I think I didn't have enough
spaces before the name/time-date stamp section).
I oresume you were talking about my first post (Mathew Van Holde's plea for
help), if not I have no doubt come across as a raving maniac.
