   Thanks for the pointer! I installed sempoint v2.26 (16-bit Windows programs,   
   remember those? That was fun) just so I could read the help text, and indeed,   
   it describes its "rich text" feature as you said. It appears to support bold,   
   italic, underline (and combinations of those) using the same syntax as GoldEd   
   but does not mention the inverse style supported in GoldEd (#this#). Still,   
   appears to be the likely impetus. Thanks again!
