     Well, I was saying that more tongue in cheek than
anything.  Rather than putting it in the SUBJ: line, it
could be a RE: WPDOS6.1 in the first line of the
message.  You'll have to admit it is sometimes pretty
frustrating at times.  A lot of times, someone asks a
question the answer to which depends on the version,
but since they don't state it, I don't bother
answering.
     It's gotten rather hard to read WordPerfect
Magazine for Dos lately.  This paragrapoh applies to
5.1, that to 5.1+, another to 6.0, and yet another to
6.1! Gets confusing to this old brain!
