Hi Andrew, hope your holidays were good!

When you get around to 'documentation', I'm using the your msg on 'changes'
(below) as an example of the type of documentation that gives _me_ problems
understanding what is meant:

 ac> The viewing of SEEN-BYs, Origin lines and tearlines in the reader can
 ac> be individually disabled or enabled using the following switches:

 ac>    Switch ShowSeenBys     ; default = Off
 ac>    Switch ShowOrigins     ; default = On
 ac>    Switch ShowTearlines   ; default = On

Simply say:

The following is a list of _all_ legal switches used in this release of
MsgEd shown in their default conditions.  Being 'default', they need not be
listed in your MSGED.CFG file.  Any switches you desire that are _not_
default _must_ be listed in your .CFG for that function to work.  Case is
immaterial:

switch showseenbys off
switch showorigins on
switch showtearlines on
switch mousesupport off
etc,
etc,

(Saves a lot of unnecessary keystrokes...)

Hope this makes some sense...

      Good luck...  M.
