   you can but you have to jump back... software using JAM bases should use the   
   lastread pointer instead of the highread one for this to work properly... i   
   remember plenty of confusion when JAM was introduced... some coders just   
   made both pointers the same every time and thus negated one of the features of   
   the format... others used lastread or highread for everything and ignored the   
   other one with the same result...   
      
   in normal operation, highread only changes if it is lower than lastread...   
   lastread is used for normal movement through the messages like it would be   
   normally in a format that has only one read pointer...   
      
    AT> Maybe that's a Renegade thing.   
      
   i don't know... it may have a similar method coded into the BBS and instead of   
   it part of the message base format... i've never used renegade and don't know   
   if i've ever logged into one or not...
