    Unless you can masquerade your simple lines as text characters (probably
    not) you will need to write your own custom LDEF.  LDEF 0 in the system
    file is for plain text lists only.  Any type of special text formatting
    or graphics requires a custom LDEF.

    IM IV had a chapter on the List Manager and how to write LDEFs.  They
    are not hard to write.  Trust me.  ;-)

    You're quite welcome.

    You're forgiven . . . this time.
