PHP experts or anyone familiar with NewsPHP v216 (http://www.nphp.net/)

I have everything installed and it works fine except I can't figure out why whenever I post/update it automatically adds a whole bunch of <br> after my message. Here is what the text file looks like after posting (news.txt):

<!-- Generated by newsPHP -->

<A NAME="nPHP1045078240"><B>Personal Message:</B></A><font size=1> at Wednesday 12th February, 2003 by <A HREF="MAILTO:username@mgci.com">username</A></font><BR>
test <BR>test 123 test test123<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

------------------------
Here is where the sample page of how it looks:

www.nitura.net/test.php

The message is located right under the header. I need to figure out who to eliminate the <br> everytime I update through the control panel.

Thank you!

Is there a template to edit? I am not familiar with it but maybe the template needs to be edited.

problem solved... DAH
All I needed to do was delete the blank space within the textarea (of control panel) to get rid of the textarea scroll.

Neo, thanks for your time/concern.
