    Yes, it sure does work but what happened to your "Sig"?

    I haven't looked that far, yet. LOL

    Meanwhile, I do not see the diff between using @Pseudo and @TFname. I still get "Martin" as a result.

    Oh, OK :)

    Neither do I but the object of this leetle exercise was to get rid of the three leading spaces, which has now been achieved :)

    That's what the 'reference doc' states, per...

    "@pseudo pseudonym (see addressbook), or @tfname."

    HTH.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    ... I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it and besides, it was an accident.

    Yes.. it did. I'll have to explore that doc, someday. But for now, the F1 help is not too bad. It explained that @pseudo is a "token", and the address book uses that too as the "macro" as a shortcut for entering someone's full FN LN in a message.

    I'm beginning to like this GoldEd a lot.

    Only a some keystroke commands don't work, such as the thread-tree. :(

    I use them for areafix & filefix messages, for the respective links' robots names, passwords, and message priority attributes. It saves researching through file captures of sysop messages, hunting for the damned info.

    I'm beginning to like this GoldEd a lot.

    I've been using it for over 25 years and am still referring to the dox... often. Mind you, it's not the only offline reader I used(d). Example: the methodology used with -this- note. You know that.

    Only a some keystroke commands don't work, such as the thread-tree. :(

    I do that often. The last was recently changing the re-scan keystroke combination, <Alt>s, to something else so as not to invoke some function in the CLI (DOSbox) I use but cannot change, when remotely using my main Linux node via RDP.

    Ah, computers... can't shoot 'em.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    I remember I didn't like it very much when running a bbs under plain DOS in a 286 computer. It was veeery slow. It loaded for ages. I preferred FM or Timed. :)

    The Golded config in my OS/2 system is still from those days.

    I didn't use FM much. My FroDo config blew itself away in a big *Bang* at the end of 1998. My node was off-line for about a month while I forgot about its way of doing things and worked-up a BinkleyTermXE system, later adding binkD.

    I had a BATch that offered either TimEd or MsgEd (I was using both Squish & JAM areas). I had been toying with a point-configured GoldEd on-&-off for a couple of years already. But, I was lured by SemPoint and other experiments along with GoldEd.

    The Golded config in my OS/2 system is still from those days.

    Only one?!? I have 4 or 5, in vBox-ed nodes/experiments, Oh, this point can do GoldEd as well. Mmm... call it 6, and they're all individual... of course.

    It's a pity that SemPoint requires Windows. It was my favourite editor all along. ;)

    Cheers,
    Paul.
