I don't get to QTs that way. In my version of TB! (which is earlier than yours) Shift+Ctrl+Q gets me directly to them, and that list of QTs can stay open while I test them in a new message window. The only thing I would like to see is a way to make copies of QTs so I can save the latest working version before I make changes. So for that purpose I have to keep a text editor on hand as well. -- Robin Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Popfile v0.22.3 Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Without a tab to indicate the paragraph break, yes, it would seem very hard. Since all line breaks are hard, that the user pressed return cannot be encoded in the text. The user's pressing of tab could, however. But, MicroEd does not use tab characters; it converts them into spaces. Basically, a line wrap and a new paragraph look identical unless there is a tab or some other paragraph marker. Consequently, the program cannot differentiate between a line wrap and a new paragraph. -- Chris Quoting when replying to this message is good for you and me.

Editing templates in a text editor
Is it possible to get at the templates to edit them using a text editor rather than backwards and forwarding using the templates menu system in Account Properties. Now that Robin Anson has made my life so happy with his little RegEx gizmo I want to make use of the same forule in loads of other situations. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 3.71.03 with POPFile 0.22.4 on Windows XP 5.1 tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Your mouth is opening and words of truth are coming out. I feel a trifle it's a part of TB's identity crisis in a nervous and indecisive ambivalent wanting to be an Outlook Depress.

It's always good when we have a choice.

I think it would be possible only if a such editor could work in two modes, and that such, less or more, editors already exist, but not for Windows. There is an old one for DOS, can't recall its name but could find out if you are interested, and more than one for Linux. - -- Mica PGP keys nestled at: http://blueness.port5.com/pgpkeys/ [Earth LOG: 569 day(s) since v3.0 unleashing] OSs: Windows 98 SE Micro Lite Professional IVa Enterprise Millennium Windows XP(ee) Micro Lite Professional 1.6, and, for TB sometimes, Gentoo and Vector Linuxes via Wine... ~~~ For personal mail please use my address as it is *exactly* given in my "From|Reply To" field(s). ~~~ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQEVAwUBRCPbErSpHvHEUtv8AQPVVwgArqNgfM3ZUYGYmdLn+MWJ5EeGfMPOIN+Z d82e0RePM+vmygzfVfDrgCscJZzX2lxU/9iW41QT9paeHt+HgX5q2aHoqWUQaLOI TN+eOU5dupdgo7gkOXHKWQXHnoaVMNldapL3zCBCEm2lEIeth8y9QkDbv2WJezgn 4VCwXNSAK+T010yIljprVbt3FIbPhRWwe1zmwWRUqVBEOgMforrbERsO8S0NjpQb +tiVOIvjH1z3mebCg4v/egv28hpvmLBiJIZytbqYMFB4z2Atw6Gyg9904HLRyRD2 bc+t2UMwJYSFKoE/pFopevOpplhavfH4GquICLrNzSSp7zQ+0NSPDQ== =4hOA -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That's the ticket exactly.
I did try the original and thought it was something I had not set right so
I put it aside temporarily.
This version worked straight out of the box.
Thanks bigly
