spacing around underscores in labels

I'm developing a standalone utility which uses a BR! U/I and during which I print some text fields centered on the screen - when I do so BR! auto-adds a lot of spaces before and after a _ (underscore). I'm pretty sure this is a feature for legacy code compatibility, but I don't remember how to disable it. Can anyone tell me how to stop it from auto inserting those spaces?

If you make no changes BR will place text that is separated by more than one space where it would have been placed if non-prportional text wre used in the old model. There is a CONFIG sttement that you can invoke to tell BR how many spaces to "see" before doing the auto-plavcement.
I'm sorry, I can't remember the config keyword off the top of my head.

This was just the tip I needed, George! I needed the underscores off part too.
Config FieldBreak Min_Spaces 2, UnderScore Off
That fixes my little issue. Thank you very much!
