(1) Make sure you limit it to 70 columns
(2) Make sure you use a monospaced [typewriter] font like 'courrier'.
If aol won't do such a font, you have problems,
which can be solved by getting an account with a real ISP :-).

[Obviously you all have to use the same, typewriter, font---if 
everybody used different proportional fonts, the pictures would
the same from place to place].
