Although you have to set it up manually with a text editor, if you create a file called "TheNews Signature" in the system folder it will automatically be included (as below). A nice feature here is that it is inserted before you edit the content of the note, which allows you to delete it from responses to groups which frown on signatures. Regarding speed and conversion problems, I had no problems at all here. It is faster than the bogged down Unix box from which I used to read netnews. <-> Bruce Carter, Courseware Development Coordinator bcarter@claven.idbsu.edu Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725 duscarte@idbsu.bitnet (This message contains personal opinions only) (208)385-1250@phone
