   Hello August,   
      
    AI>> Interesting. Your tearline says GoldED. Is that what you used to   
    AI>> write that message?   
      
    AA> Yes.. it invokes GoldED.   
      
   Interesting, it invokes golded in a web interface. Sounds like Thomas has put a   
    lot of effort into it. It would be good if he could get the "." between your   
   first and last name out.   
      
    AA> I am not too familiar with it, but it seems to have many editing   
    AA> options.  I've only used it briefly when I was experimenting with   
    AA> invoking an external editor with Apoint.  I'm spoiled with OXP and

    AA> Like Thomas said, this method doesn't require any extraneous programs   
    AA> at all.   
      
   Yep, sounds like a usefull setup. Is that your own point address?   
      
   I have thought about doing something similar. My idea was to give folks ssh   
   access. If folks are comfortable with an ssh shell they could edit files and   
   set envirnments as they please and once their configuration is done they can   
   run golded (or any editor) to read and reply to messages. If they are not   
   comfortable in the shell I could setup a golded.cfg for them and set their   
   shell to golded so when they log in golded fires up for them and when they   
   leave it shuts down.   
      
   That's how I am logged in now. No delay at all as I type.   
      
    AA> Full bbs-like options are available: file-requests, netmail,   
    AA> re-routing netmail, etc (mostly provided by the GoldEd features).   
      
   Yep, golded is a handy editor. There was nothing to compare it to when Odin   
   first started on it.   
      
    Ttyl :-),
