There actually seems to be room for improvement in SlyEdit's handling of quote lines. When the quote.txt file is written, some of the lines can be longer than the user's terminal width (at least that seems to be the case when using my message reader), and when quoting those lines, some of them are cut off due to their length.  I looked into the quote line reading in SlyEdit a bit, and I think I can use word_wrap() to wrap the quote lines to ensure they fit into the user's terminal so they're all available for quoting.
