 TL> I'll look into that...thanks

thank you! it is one of those areas of contention that had me confused on
how to format rules files for submission in a message...

 ml>> i also have a question about submitting rules files in this

 TL> Poor stupid Robot...I guess it assumes too many things since

i was thinking that it was still a DOS app and thus limited in this manner...

 ml>> it also cuts the names off in the postings when they are

 TL> Yes, it's a DOS based program.

 TL> Some moderators, realizing the limitations, modify how they
 TL> name files (g).

too bad we don't have a way of telling the 'bot what the name of the file
is to be when it extracts the rules text from the message body... maybe
something like

RFName: PAS_LESS.RUL

for the PASCAL_LESSONS echo rules file...
