[So then why not just have it suck in a file to add to the headers when setting up the message? Actually what's needed is someway of specifying events (in .*init) that are invoked by the program instead of a keystroke or menu selection (i.e., hooks in emacs)...] Anyway, couldn't isn't there an "insert-file," proctable entry so that you don't have to put the wierd characters in the init file? -Miles -- -- Miles Bader -- HCRC, University of Edinburgh -- Miles.Bader@ed.ac.uk
