I can't imagine why I'm able to get message in this echo but my previous posts
have apparently not gotten anywhere... so I'll try again....


MSGED v4 is the first OS/2 version that has me working as comfortably as with
the DOS 2.1a that I have now been able to retire.  I do though have a few
problems/nits (using the MSGED4MP executables with Warp 3, no fixpacks):

- I have a monochrome screen and the blinking cursor bar is driving me batty. 
I have renamed moo.col to msged.col and uncommented the keyword line in the
.cfg, but the cursor still blinks.  Is there a way to convert the bar to just
reverse highlighting?

- When replying to a Private message in any message base *other than netmail*
the flags default to CraLoc.  Shouldn't the flag options default to matching
the flags on the original message?

- When reading in reverse order, if you delete a message the screen is
refreshed not with the next lower message but with the message that was the
next higher than the message that was deleted.  Shouldn't the deletion continue
the display in the reverse read order?

- A request: v2.1a had a feature whereby when in the BADMSGS, DUPES or NETMAIL
areas when you did an Alt-L header listing you could do an Alt-A that would
toggle on/off a display of the node number associated with the To/From fields. 
I found this very handy to enable a quick check on whether any bad or dupe
messages had originated from my downlinks.  If possible, I'd like to see this
feature back again.

Thanks again to all that contributed toward v4.  I'm now down to one DOS
program for which I haven't found an adequate replacement .
