Oh.. I forgot about pipe codes.  Then that would be too much to ask a  
developer to accomodate all those methods.  I mean, it's not unlike Linus  
Torvald's comment about 80char line limitations that I read somewhere:  
"People with restrictive hardware shouldn't make it more inconvenient for  
people who have better resources."

Yes.. it seems to be intended for reading right on a BBS using its  
interface.  But I have less restrictive resources!  LOL
