BL> Only as long as the control line comes in a specified position.

RS> Nope, it just has to be BEFORE the block of graphics that

BL> ROFL! Think about it for a while, Rod.

No need to, I've already thought about it fine thanks.

BL> How do you know that it is BEFORE if you don't know a specified
BL> position?

You are scanning down from the top of the message, looking for control
lines. You come across a control line which says 'ere be a block of user
text wiv grafix in it xxxx bytes long immediately following'

RS> The whole software world has moved AWAY from them now because they

BL> ROFL! The whole software world.... WOW! Generalities like that really
