I ain't used SLMR much lately, but sometimes I will create a .TXT file
with some lines (like a URL I Copied from a web page and Pasted into
a .TXT file) that I want to include in a message I'm writing in MM DOS,
and since I'm already using EDIT.COM to write my message, I can Open my
.TXT file, Copy what I put in the .TXT file, use ALT 1 to switch back to
the message I'm writing and Paste the lines in my message, and then go
on and finish writing it and Save it, Add a Tagline, and I'm back in
MM DOS, EXIT MM DOS, and send my .REP Packet to the BBS.

It sounds like "Here  We Go Loop-a-de-loop" (in Monaural of course)
but it does the same thing as MM WIN using Notepad to edit a message.

Lots of Boards no longer available in my area, off the top of "Ed's Hear"TM
Derby City LiveWire is the only one I've seen posting messages in the
Mystic BBS Network.

Without referring to the BBS List in the FidoGazette echo, I even think
LiveWire can be accessed by Dial Up, but I haven't tried doing that.
