Patrick, when you dump that nice 99 character GoldED file into the YAM
eidtor (screen) it will then wrap it to 74 characters. The only way to
prevent that in YAM is to send it as an attachment, and hope the recipient
opens it with GoldED or Ciagnus and doesn't import it into YAM, where it
will be wrapped. If you import that script into Microdot, it should not
wrap it, but if someone gets the email with YAM, it will be wrapped no
matter what, unless it is sent as an attachment, which you can't do in
most newsgroups or mailing lists. Text attachments should really be
allowed, I guess, as many of us as use YAM for our mail. I should filter
this list out and read it with Microdot, but have never bothered to, as it
will keep scripts intact for the most part.
Regards
