Yes, but Maximus puts an origin line on a message already, so squish doesn't.
THe custom origin line works, just do it once, mark my block after the first
time and paste. Just hoping somebody knew of a global solution. Three extra
keystrokes after the first area is defined <g>. NO biggie.

There ya go! THat would be cool. <NOte to coders <g>.
Just define it once for a given message division.
That's one reason I haven't bothered with divisions yet.
Btw, it's one feature I liked that was added since my days sysoping 2.01 wb.
Just haven't seen the need for it yet. EVentually when we're telnet ready I'm
going to implement some of the other features that are basically designed for
tech support type boards etc. My objective: A user of the system who's
handling an emergency situ IF he/she has to hand it off to somebody else it's
easily enough done. That's for later on though <G>.
Regards,
Richard
