How would I allow for spaces but not newlines in a textbox like the one that 
I use obtain the name?  This is the reason that I am doing it so I can 
learn, I learn better by doing so by doing this and making mistakes (and 
fixing them) is a lot better for me than just reading about it.  Sorry but 
reusing code from the CPAN is nice,  but doesn't really help me learn.
