I don't consider myself *too* clueless, but the %SINGLERE problem was
one of my very first questions to TBUDL.

Even on the macros page in the help file "SINGLERE - disable reply
counting" doesn't have an /obvious/ relationship with "Re[n]" -- as
crazy as that sounds -- to me, at least.

If one were to type in 'Reply' in the Find tab of the help file, you
will see "REPLYCOUNTER" which takes you to the macros page. if you
scroll down a bit, you'll come to:

OREPLYCOUNTER,
ORECOUNT  - insert the numbered reply counter of the original message.

..Which doesn't help much either.

Even the "Reply Template" section says nothing about %SINGLERE, but it
does have a link to the macros section, which takes a new user to a
whole slew of macros to dig through. And because of the nature of
windows help files (or at least, this older format), one can't simply
hit Ctrl+F *to search the current page* to make life easier.
