Would want me to Email the Multimail files I have downloaded?
I have version 0.49 for DOS and the WIN version too.
Also have the WIN version of MM 0.50 which I am using to write this
message to You.

This is what I found in the SLMR.DOC file about Finding a Tagline that
is in the Tagline List.

    Tagline
        This is  the tagline that  will be  appended to the  bottom of your
        message.  You can type  your own words of  wisdom here, or press F2
        to  view your  Taglines  pick list.   If  this field  is  blank, no
        tagline will be used.


Using Pick Lists (piglets) in SLMR
----------------------------------

    SLMR has a number of  so-called pick lists which can  be set up to save
    you having  to type  common responses  over and  over.  Pick  lists are
    activated by pressing F2 on a  field which has an associated pick list,
    or by pressing the space bar on  such a field before pressing any other
    keys.  The  space bar will  cycle through  the items in  the pick list,
    showing them one by one in the edit field.

    The pick lists are maintained by pressing Alt-P anywhere in SLMR, or by
    calling them directly by pressing F2 on an appropriate field.  The pick
    list edit commands are:

    Alt-A - Add  a new  entry to  the end  of  the pick  list.  If  you had
            brought up this  pick list with  F2 and there  was already some
            text in  the field, this  text will be  automatically filled in
            for you  when you press  Alt-A.  You  can edit the  text if you
            like, and press Enter when done.

    Alt-D - Delete  an entry  from the  pick  list.  You  will be  asked to
            confirm the delete.

    Alt-E - Edit an entry in  the pick list.  You will  be able to edit the
            highlighted entry.   When you are  done, press  Enter to accept
            your changes or Esc to discard them.


Alt-F  is what I was talking about doing after pressing F2 to show the
whole Tagline List in OLX/SLMR, iirc.

    Alt-F - If you want to find an item  in the pick list but only remember
            a small part of it, use the  Alt-F command to find bits of text
            in the pick list.

    Alt-L - This command  will find the  last (previous)  occurrence of the
            last Alt-F text.

    Alt-N - This command  will find the  next occurrence of  the last Alt-F
            text.

    If  you press  a  letter or  number key,  the  highlight bar  will jump
    directly  to the  next item  in the  pick list  which starts  with that
    letter or number.   This is sometimes  a faster way  to find items than
    using the Alt-F command.

    The pick lists available in SLMR are:

    Taglines  - This pick list contains the taglines that are available for
                you to place at the bottom of your messages.
                Filename: TAGLINES.MR

    To        - This is a  list of people  you often write  messages to (or
                who have names that are  difficult to spell).  Useful items
                for this pick list are the  {at}TO{at} and {at}FROM{at} variables - see
                the next section for information on SLMR variables.
                Filename: TOLIST.MR

    Subject   - This is a list of the subjects which you use often.
                Filename: SUBJLIST.MR

    Find      - This is  a list  of the find  strings which  you use often.
                Remember, multiple text strings can  be searched at once by
                separating them with semicolons.
                Filename: FINDLIST.MR

    Save/View - This is  a list  of the save  files which  you usually use.
                The Save/View pick  list is an excellent  place to use many
                of SLMR's {at}-Variables described in the next section.
                Filename: SAVELIST.MR

    Twits     - This  pick  list  contains  a  list  of  users  and message
                subjects you would like to skip over when reading messages.
                If you  just enter  a name  here, SLMR  will skip  over all
                messages either From  or To that user.   For other types of
                filters, use the following formats:

                F:SOME NAME
                        This will cause SLMR to skip all messages From SOME
                        NAME.

                T:ANOTHER NAME
                        This  will  cause  SLMR  to  skip  all  messages To
                        ANOTHER NAME.

                S:BORING SUBJECT
                        This  will cause  SLMR to  skip all  messages whose
                        Subject contains the text BORING SUBJECT (or Boring
                        Subject, since the filter is not case sensitive).

                Filename: TWITFILE.MR

Would You Email a copy of OLX's Doc File for me to take a gander at it.
