I'm writing this with Waffle 1.62 and Qedit. You'll see the signature
below, which Waffle added just fine.

First thing to check is that you have a 'mailsig' for mail, and a
properly named sig for posting. The news sig name is defined in your
'usenet' file. I use 'sig' now, but when I ran as a BBS, I used sig for
local groups and netsig for news.

If, after you confirm the filenames are correct, you still don't get a
signature, try a different external editor. (although I can't see how
the external editor would make a difference)

Finally, if nothing at all works, mail me and I'll send you the editor
executive module I wrote while I was still using 1.60 (which _did_ have
a bug appending sig to externally edited files)
