You're asking for a        KR> dark light.                      KR> Or to go back to the KISS principle, what about RTFM?               KR> Taglines are usually one-liner jokes or wisdom or whatever.        KR> They serve        KR> absolutely no technical function and are considered by some to        KR> be        KR> waste of diskspace and modem time. In some conferences, they        KR> may even        KR> be forbidden by the moderator, so if you want to use this        KR> feature,        KR> check the conference rules first!               KR> The tagline support in GoldED is currently not very advanced.        KR> You can        >> define some global taglines and manually select them from a        >> menu,        KR> like you can with origins.       that part was not very well explained via configs.. and manual.. I have yet to        get to display correctly               KR> According to my reference docs it should be CTRL-I.        KR> (Doesn't work here i think because taglinesupport no.)               KR> If the system works like the origin system then you could have some        KR> kind of sub-menus in the selection window. I have some single ORIGIN        KR> lines in the config and then a reference mark to a different file:               KR> ORIGIN " Monobox "        KR> ORIGIN "You did it!"        KR> ORIGIN "Seven holy path to hell"        KR> ORIGIN "Ride the sky!"        KR> ORIGIN @/golded/origin/origins.full.txt               KR> That shows up as:               KR> ............. Origins ............        KR> . Monobox .        KR> . You did it! .        KR> . Seven holy path to hell .        KR> . Ride the sky! .        KR> . [origins.full.txt] .        KR> ..................................              what I read in advanced.cfg implied to me that its either your tagline file,       or        taglines that you have put into the config.. did not understand that it would        do both               KR> where [origins.full.txt] can be selected and reveals the full list.        KR> Within the random system you could use the full list as a reference.               KR> If the tagline system does work the same way then you could create        KR> some kind of quick access list to your favorite selections.               KR> Regards               KR> Kai              thank you for explaining that              Micheal              ...
