Hi LD;
I think this is an EXCELLENT example of why we should allow Arachne MSG to
take it's input from a file. <G>
The output of the copy command could be re-directed to the file DOS.msg.
Arachne MSG could display the contents of DOS.msg on the status line if
the HTML was added to Saveas.ah. We would just have to make SURE that the
contents of DOS.msg were pre-initialized to some warning text in case no
message ever got delivered.
Of course, this pre-supposes that Arachne MSG gets fixed, and that it
gets modified to accept a filename for the MSG source.
