This will remove occurances of multiple spaces.

lcStr = ALLTRIM(lcOriginalStr) && remove leading and trailing spaces
DO WHILE AT(" ", lcStr) > 0 && look for double space
lcStr = STRTRAN(lcStr, " ", " ", 1, 1) && convert double space to single
ENDDO

I do not know how to get UT to not remove spaces.
