SYMPTOM(s):
String Sizes Calculate differently on different OSs
CAUSE:
Charleston of the message size is done with Width-Chars() method.
FIX:
The best method to use in this example is the GET-TEXT-WIDTH-CHARS(). This will calculate the width of a string using the font. It is more precise because it takes into account Fixed vs Variable fonts and the actual characters used.
