If you can't get him to listen, try telling his wife to have him put in the
functionality. She might be better at talking to him. ;-)

I had hoped to get another answer, since this file is ahred by my Internet
software and my Fidonet software. And I can't use this format in my Fidonet
software.

BTW do you know any reason why YEP doesn't substitute my defined
substitution codes, when I call it from my Fidonet software, but do it fine
when called form Yarn? The weird part is, that it works fine the first
time, i.e. before entering my editor, it is the codes that I put in while
editing that doesn't get substituted.
