Well that's specific to that one application, so you don't
really want that as part of a template, any more than you
want "+++ END OF THE WORLD +++" to appear in all your messages
just because one robot uses that as the terminator.  In which
case, just type in "---" or just delete your name for that one
message.  Be aware that "---" is normally used as a control line
in fidonet, so that special character sequence will not be put
into your message unless you have made sure that there is no
confusion between control lines and user-text.  And what that
means is not displaying kludges whilst entering a message, because
all kludges get stripped when you do that, before writing the
message.  BFN.  Paul.
