I think the problem is that you are using <LI> elements, which are
*designed* to have lines wrap in this manner. You'll have to forgo the
<LI>'s bullets, or make the jump to Netscape 1.1 and use tables (which,
btw, are not currently supported in AOL's browser). It might look something
like this:

<table>
<tr><td><UL><LI><a href="http://www.acq.das.ohio.gov/acq/rfp_main.htmlx">
                <img src="tgif_tmp6.gif" align=middle border=none></a></UL>
<td valign=center><a href="http://www.acq.das.ohio.gov/acq/rfp_main.htmlx">
                      View RFPs</a>
<tr><td><UL><LI><a href="http://www.acq.das.ohio.gov/acq2/">
