when I tried to draw the circuit it would not use the spaces

If you look at the BBS FAQ (the link is "BBS FAQ" at the top of the page), you will see how to post pre-formatted ASCII monospaced text using the "CODE" tag.

Brian, what he's trying to say is this:

Instead of doing this: 

          |-----Resistor---LED---|

          |-----Resistor---LED---|

 --+5V----|-----Resistor---LED---|----Gnd--

          |-----Resistor---LED---|


What he wants to do is this: 

                                      |---LED---|

                                      |---LED---|

 --+5V---Resistor (different value)---|---LED---|----Gnd--

                                      |---LED---|


So will that work? If so, what value is right?
