Mike,
Thanks for the suggestions. First the good news. MySQLFront seems to work
fine based on the limited testing I've done thus far.
The bad news is that even after expanding the width of the DOS window I get
the same results whenever the varchar(255) event column is selected. At
least I now know from MySQLFront that it _is_ a display problem only. The
actual data appears to be correct. I'd still like to resolve it, however,
so if anyone has any further ideas ...
Jeff

Jeff,
You are probably getting line wrap. Adjust the screen width of you
DOS window by selecting the black "C:" icon in upper left of window and
select "Properties". Go to the layout tab and set the window size width to
132 or even 255. This should solve the wrapping. You may also want to
increase the screen buffer height so you can scroll back more lines.
For a free Windows GUI, try MySQLFront from
http://www.anse.de/mysqlfront/. There is also PhpMyAdmin for remote access
from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/.
