      15 Dec 16 22:05, you wrote to me:               ml>> if there's editing capabilities in that different mode, then it is        ml>> definitely not what i/we would call a reader... reader mode has no        ml>> editing capabilities... you have to hit a key to reply or write a new        ml>> message... anyway, i'll try to take a look in the next days... thanks        ml>> for the info! :)               NB> Yeah, that's basically how it works.

AFAIK, slyedit came with sbbs when Max first pulled it off       the repo and compiled it... i'm not aware of anything special done to acquire       it...              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers?
