Success! Thanks for the help.

This plugin omits extra blank lines from the output window (excluding blank lines generated from notes). For instance, if there are 3 blank lines in a row, it will remove 2 of them.

Nice. I hadn't even considered OnPluginScreenDraw. However, what does that behave like when you scroll up and down, pgup, pgdown and so forth?

Performance is great - no issues.

The OnPluginScreenDraw callback is in the same line processing chain as OnPluginLineReceived and trigger matching (see http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=6554). It has an added performance benefit because it's only called once per visible line (including notes and commands), unlike OnPluginLineReceived and triggers which process every incoming line.

It does appear that OnPluginScreenDraw is called too late to do anything with the current line, but it works just fine to enable a line-omitting trigger for the following line. ;-)
