No, that is not what I mean. Besides,the macros are sent from tlf, not 
fldigi. fldigi is no more than a client, sending whatever tlf tells it to.

No it does not show just 1, but all the excess linefeeds (6 to 8)on TX, 
it shows only RX linefeeds from fldigi and that varies with the decoding 
in fldigi.

Please reread the part of the changelog I am referring to::

tlf-0.9.30
==========
Bug fixes:

RTTY miniterm changed to display line feeds (reading formatted texst is 
easier)
RTTY now sends linefeeds before and after the macro.

Especially the last line, this has carried over to the current tlf version.

If someone would just test this you will see what I've been saying, tlf 
is sending excess linefeeds (6 to 8) with every macro.

But until someone does this will never be fixed.
