EMPHASIS. It is one way to put reader's attention to that word(s) without using advanced formatting gizmos. As others have noted, it is a way of [manual] formatting only usable by your tired eyes, not by whatever reader/formatter you're using. Without formatting, how do you write something like these?: 1/3 (0.333333) or use a shorter mathematical denotion for that. 4 times 4 = 4^2, you write a small 2 to the right of 4, (superscript and subscript) Square root of say 10. Steve also kindly showed how you write Boldfaced, Underscored and Italicized word(s). And how do you write strikethrough and such formatting without using advanced word processing software? My pet peeve: I hate it that the word ftp is automatically marked [1] as a hypertext link, where I just want mention that word as a verb, but that is just me... ;-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - yes, I can reverse or disable that, but... Above text (and this sentence! ) was written in Plain Text as used on IBM-MAIN's web page - Send Message page. One of these days, I want to play around with HTML part. But then not everyone can probably read what I wanted to write. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
