   SD>The lack of macros.  I have a specific use for them and nano doesn't have   
   SD>that capability.  I post a lot in the COOKING echo and I post a lot of   
   SD>recipes.  Since I use Meal-Master, a DOS-based recipe manager, I have the   
   SD>macros programmed to put MM's exported recipe text file through dos2unix,   
   SD>then read the recipe into the message, and finally add my signature to the   
   SD>message.  It's easier for me to just use the macros to do all of that.   
      
     Speaking of macros, a former local area Sysop and former ham radio   
   operator, had set up a long password with high ascii characters with   
   regular numbers and letters. The thing was, if he didn't have it as a   
   macro, he'd never remember it.   
      
     Before Janice and I got engaged and married, I had come to visit her   
   at her apartment (where I eventually moved to until a year before my   
   Mom's death last August), and I went to logon to the BBS...which was   
   still at what was my parents place (it's mine now). Anyway, I was so   
   used to logging on with a macro, that when I connected, the software I   
   was using entered the user ID and password in one whack.   
      
     Well, I got to the logon prompt, hit the macro, and nothing happened.   
   Then, it hit me.   
      
     "You're not at the host console. You don't know your own password. You   
   can't logon to your own BBS"!! :P   
      
     Salted crow, and humble pie, anyone??
