   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.

   Thank you for your work and report.

   Patching/bolting other programs is not ideal.
