KR> Hello Micheal!

KR> Yeah, i like the KISS principle, keep it short and simple. ;-)

MP>> taglines are a *feature* some people like them, and a few don't.
MP>> all I am saying is that there should be a way to randomly choose
MP>> one more than the first

KR> If you want to choose then it is not randomly. You're asking for a
KR> dark light.


KR> Or to go back to the KISS principle, what about RTFM?

KR>         Taglines are usually one-liner jokes or wisdom or whatever.
KR> They serve
KR>         absolutely no technical function and are considered by some to
KR> be
KR>         waste of diskspace and modem time. In some conferences, they
KR> may even
KR>         be forbidden by the moderator, so if you want to use this
KR> feature,
KR>         check the conference rules first!

KR>         The tagline support in GoldED is currently not very advanced.
KR> You can
>>       define some global taglines and manually select them from a
>> menu,
KR>         like you can with origins.
that part was not very well explained via configs.. and manual.. I have yet to
get to display correctly

KR> According to my reference docs it should be CTRL-I.
KR> (Doesn't work here i think because taglinesupport no.)

KR> If the system works like the origin system then you could have some
KR> kind of sub-menus in the selection window. I have some single ORIGIN
KR> lines in the config and then a reference mark to a different file:

KR> ORIGIN " Monobox "
KR> ORIGIN "You did it!"
KR> ORIGIN "Seven holy path to hell"
KR> ORIGIN "Ride the sky!"
KR> ORIGIN @/golded/origin/origins.full.txt

KR> That shows up as:

KR> ............. Origins ............
KR> .  Monobox                       .
KR> . You did it!                    .
KR> . Seven holy path to hell        .
KR> . Ride the sky!                  .
KR> . [origins.full.txt]             .
KR> ..................................

what I read in advanced.cfg implied to me that its either your tagline file, or

taglines that you have put into the config.. did not understand that it would
do both

KR> where [origins.full.txt] can be selected and reveals the full list.
KR> Within the random system you could use the full list as a reference.

KR> If the tagline system does work the same way then you could create
KR> some kind of quick access list to your favorite selections.

KR> Regards

KR> Kai

thank you for explaining that

Micheal
