   That matches the function exactly. But "automatic choice" "selector" is the   
   group match in the list of groups. ;)

    ml> echotags? not groups??   
      
   The random system is very powerful and can handle "groups" in many ways.   
      
   Like Nick posted it can be groups by letters, as used in fidoconfig   
   definitions (i didn't knew that before, ty). This affects all echos which are   
   part of the group as defined in fidoconfig.   
      
   group can be one single echotag, which matches your example in the easiest way.   
   group can be a wildcarded echotag, to match all REQUEST.* echos or NODES.* or   
   ALLFIX* or BBS* and so on.   
      
   group can be a so far unknown unique groupname and echos can be included into   
   this new group with the MEMBER keyword. As far as i know "member" can use   
   wildcards too. The trick is that it's valid to use more than one member   
   keyword. You could build a group with same defaults for all ALLFIX*, BBS* and   
   OS2* echos for example.   
      
    ml> why is it called "group" then?   
      
   Because the group and endgroup keywords are used to build groups in many ways.

    ml> groups are the same as the groups the tosser uses...   
      
   If it works, that's great! ;-)   
      
   My next step should be international templates and origin lines, but i'm to   
   lazy at the moment.
