Hi!
/usr/share/doc/joe/README.Debian claims you can ":include /etc/joe/jstarrc"
to avoid having to copy the entire file and to make it work over upgrades.
However, doing so seems to ignore the entirety of ~/.jstarrc

Let's say we want to replace
-rmsg  %S Row %4r Col %3c %t  Ctrl-J for help
with
-rmsg  %S Row %4r Col %3c %A

The following ~/.jstarrc
=================================================
:include /etc/joe/jstarrc
-rmsg  %S Row %4r Col %3c %A
=================================================
makes "Ctrl-J for help" show up instead of the Unicode code.

so does
=================================================
-rmsg  %S Row %4r Col %3c %A
:include /etc/joe/jstarrc
=================================================
so it's not a matter of "first setting stays".

Only copying the entire file as ~/.jstarrc and editing it makes the setting
work.
