Principally, you can use the ``ez'' editor, which by default will create a text object (editing a text file), and you can insert new glitz-objects (``insets'') at any point with the esc-tab sequence. Once you pick an inset (raster (image), table (spreadsheet), fad (animation)), you get to use all the facilities of that inset's editor. I don't know if there's a listing of all the insets that can be included via esc-tab. But once you've picked one to insert, you can either fool around with the input editor or look at its documentation (generally installed under ANDREWDIR/doc/atk; there's a ``Readme.doc'' file in that directory). As for the AMS-specific glitz, you generally get at that in Messages by selecting the ``Add Special Headers'' menu item on the ``Other'' card within the message-composition window in Messages or Sendmessage. Selecting this menu item brings up a dialog box that asks which option you wish that the message you're composing use (e.g. asking for receipt confirmation, asking for a multiple-choice (``vote'') response, describing an enclosure, inviting receivers to subscribe to a folder, or inviting receivers to redistribute a message to additional recipients). After you select one of these, you're asked one or more questions appropriate to the desired action. Does this help? Craig
