Hello everybody!

Since ELEBBS is a clone of Remoteaccess and it has no place of it's
own I'm guess this is the most appropriate place.

I'm useing ELENEWS to download a few newsgroups as it's quite a bit
more effective than gating to FTS back and forth.

ELEBBS has a pascal like script... I'm not a programmer but usually
can do pretty well when there's an example or two in the scripts and
can get things going.

ELEBBS has a pascal-like scripting progrma.  I'm looking at it's
NWSFILT.PAS file and havent' a clue how to make this darn script
filter the spam out of the news.  It's pretty simple to enter the
strings of my filter criteria in it.  In fact I once wrote a NNTP
filter in cobol (yes cobol) which was pretty good at massaging data.
Complicated by a recent brain injury i'm not the best... but there's
nothing here to go by.  Can someone please take a look.

The script is in it's entirety below.

Thanks

Allen
