I used storeday. And now I know WHY. Apparently, WinPoint       remembers the scroll position the last time one used the list to look at. So,       by the time I went in there, and I saw "Day of week", I picked the %variable       associated with that line. It did not occur to my to look for any other "day       of week".              And another thing I learned about the templates. After editing a template,       the user either has to exit WinPoint, or switch to another subgroup of headers       before the editing sticks or takes.              I can't tell you how many times I made a change in my "Replies (header)"       template and the changes did not appear!                     ../|ug                     --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Please write your complaint in this box [ ] - Legibly (2:221/1.59)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
