The first line is usually, but not always, a "greeting" line.              I don't recall any missing "first line" in my Sempoint-usage days. I        know that I either used Fmail or Fastecho back in the day.              Since JAM is broken in SEM, I probably just used the "default" Squish, so        that rules out Fmail.              .: I probably I used FastEcho, and its corresponding FASTECHO.CFG. I'll        give it a go with FastEcho and see what develops.              I *do* recall a very smooth point/node setup with SEM. So, I never        encountered the many issues you found with the alternative .CFG files and/        or JAM format.                      MF>I think that just about covers it so far.              Thank you for your work and report.                      AA>> But.. would it be sustainable for someone who is not too        AA>> programmatically inclined?               MF>No way :(              Patching/bolting other programs is not ideal.                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.39        * Origin: o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o§ø`ø§o,,,,o (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
