AMU html bulletin templates are a LOT easier than I thought.  Simply, just use
the text-only macros of the pre-designed ansi templates.  I used MS Front Page
to create them.  I go into the code portion and paste the macros in the
 area of the page.  Then you can go to the design
area to build
your tables, colors, etc.  Just remember to go BACK to the code page to ensure
that the ,
, and the
 markers are all in place.  Then, just copy the
entire area from  all the way to 
into your template.
 I usually copy the original *.tpl file, rename it *.tem (for template), and
just paste the captured html code into it, in place of the original ansi code.
Don't forget the  markers. For some reason, the
bulletins do
not work properly unless they are there.
