   So, we have 'r'=='relic' in this context.  :)  Thank you for the history   
   lesson.

   Mmm... you're limited by your experience with binkD, perhaps.[shrug]   
   BinkleyTerm (where BSO originated) knew exactly what to do when Alt-G was   
   pressed: it started a FREQ dialogue of its own.  I can do the same thing with

   After five years with CrashMail II, I already have the necessary files at   
   hand, and a wonderful editor.  Thanks, Michiel.   
      
   Cheers,
