Right.  Also it is dependant on the editor employed and our particular
messages wouldn't be word wrapped by some of the real lame DOS-based Fido
editors.  I've seen them.  Also when they quote you or I (others too) they
are real lossy.

I have an oddball terminal too with HUGE HONKIN' fonts.  I need it to be
able to read as my eyesight isn't what it used to be.  Mind you NOTHING is
what it used to be.  Sigh.

Life is good,
