Yes, but Maximus puts an origin line on a message already, so squish
doesn't. THe custom origin line works, just do it once, mark my block after
the first time and paste. Just hoping somebody knew of a global solution. 
Three extra keystrokes after the first area is defined .  NO
biggie.

There ya go!  THat would be cool.  .
Just define it once for a given message division.
That's one reason I haven't bothered with divisions yet.
Btw, it's one feature I liked that was added since my days sysoping 2.01
wb. Just haven't seen the need for it yet.  EVentually when we're telnet
ready I'm going to implement some of the other features that are basically
designed for tech support type boards etc. My objective:  A user of the
system who's handling an emergency situ IF he/she has to hand it off to
somebody else it's easily enough done. That's for later on though
.
