I've only tried the editor in SLMR, which does just exactly what I want.
Works great locally, but gets hung with remote callers as soon as they
see the quoted message. I like it so much, however, I'm gonna get into
the docs to see if I can at least use it locally, while everyone else
uses MaxEd. (If anyone has a quick fix for that, they can drop it in
here. )
DG>Well I personally don't mind it but, if you turn on doorway

DG>Q for quote window and Alt + C for copy of text.
So I've been told. However, I don't understand how to do this, and don't
know what TERMINATE is.
