   AT&T DSL began giving me troubles - called Service - Serviceman suggested me to   
   cancel DSL and get Fiber internet- tried Fiber, didn't work here either -   
   cancelled Fiber.   
   Some time later another person I know was using Cricket so I visited a store   
   and began using their phone/internet service    
      
   I was surprised when I did a Speed Test and the website showed my I.P. Address   
   was with AT&T.   
   At least I was paying less for phone/internet than I had been on the L/L   
   account    
      
   I started using SLMR but switched to MultiMail DOS when I noticed long messages   
   got cut off after IIRC 153 lines, PLUS long Taglines got cut off too when saved   
   to the TAGLINE.MR file.   
      
   I had noticed the long length messages and long Taglines were in post by users   
   who used MultiMail, so I d/l MultiMail DOS , tried it out and stuck with it.   
      
   I am 'thinking' when I used SLMR it had a option to Paste the Clipboard into a   
   message.   
   SLMR used EDIT as a message editor and I learned that I could Open another   
   session of EDIT , Write or Paste something from Notepad I copied from, and   
   paste it in the second copy of EDIT, do what I wanted to modify and add to it,   
   then highlight and Copy what I wished to Paste in the SLMR EDIT window and Save   
   that contents so SLMR could put it in a .REP file.   
      
   I do the same with MultiMail DOS and also on occasion when needed with   
   MultiMail Windows    
   I don't know if I wrote more than 153 lines so I will quit my Advertisment.
