   Hello Rudi,   
      
   >>I am using your oneline script here and have a request. Would it be possible

   After chosing "yes" to add a one liner I sometimes find I couldn't make what I   
   was trying say fit in the space provided, or couldn't find the right words so I   
    would like to quit and that point but currently there is no way to quit   
   without saving something.   
      
   When someone enters a oneliner perhaps we could display what it would like like   
    and ask if they would like to save it?

   This is likely outside of what your script is trying to do and maybe I should   
   work with the oneliner.dat myself.

   Yes, the oneliner.dat is good for BBS display along with the name of the person   
    who entered it. It looks good and I don't want to mess with that file.   
      
   My use here is for an external tagline file for MultiMail or GoldEd or other   
   readers that can use a file like that.   
      
   If it was possible I'd like another file like taglines.txt maybe, with just the   
    oneliners as they are entered without any formatting or extra text, one per   
   line. Here's a few lines of a tegline file I have here now (I'd like to grow   
   it!).. as an example..   
      
   ---- import bigin ----   
      
   A diamond is just coal that has been under a lot of pressure! A mind is a   
   terrible thing to.. OH DOOM ][ is here! Age and treachery can always overcome   
   youth and skill. Bit: The increment by which programmers slowly go mad   
      
   ---- import end ----   
      
   Thank for considering all this.. :)
