I sympathize.. Writing the program itself, no problem, but as soon as you
get to the documentation.. "Uhm.. Did I add that feature yet?... Did I
fix that? Or did I..." :>

Aye.. I do agree that I'd rather have a working program than a DOC that
tells me it doesn't work :>

About the memory things, you're doing a great job of it.. With 4.10, PGP
(on a shell) wouldn't have enough memory to function properly, but with
4.20 b2, it works.. Kewl!

I have wordwrap enabled, but I don't think it will wrap when it loads the
file, it only wraps at the end of lines I type..

I'll try that.. thanks.

And the "<<"'s will be stripped when the messages is saved?
