However, since you've brought the matter up, I can think of a       MF> number of uses to which it could be put, notably, "canned" responses       MF> to questions :-))                     They don't seem to be working as short-codes/substitutions as the file        suggests.              Maybe they *are* just shorthand text for general use?              But it would be very nice for example to just put >s+< in the body of the        text have it autofill into:               -------- [Snip] ---------                     The first two paragraphs in the glossary.cfg file intrigue me, they seem        to imply that we can control the visibility of text with the ">" and "<"        chars. That is, create an auto-snip for large parts of text.                      ../|ug              ---        * Origin: /|ug's Point, ONT, CANADA (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 123/1970 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/789       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 317/3 322/757 335/364 342/200 393/68       PATH: 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
