Hi Heijo,

Pearlstone:

MDP>> Use the %ABtoMEMO macro. More specifically,
MDP>> %LANGUAGE="%ABtoMEMO"

HA> The macros you mention (%ABtoMEMO and %LANGUAGE) are not in the
HA> list that is displayed in the Properties dialog box.

That may be because the combinations are too numerous to list there.

HA> Is there a document in which I could find information on these
HA> additional macros?

Yes - the Help file! All macros are documented. Look for "Macros" in
the index.

HA> And does this document explain in more detail how these macros can
HA> be put to work in a template?

Not really. I recommend the FAQ on the subject:

http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/macros.html
http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/templates.html

HA> How does one write "if the value of the Memo field is equal to A,
HA> then use template B" in the regex language?

For one thing, you can't invoke templates; you have to use Quick
Templates. The result is something like this:

%if:"%ABtoMEMO"=="A":"%QINCLUDE='B'":"%QINCLUDE='C'"

HA> What's trim quote

Trimming non-essential text from the quoted material. That keeps
replies short and to the point. I have done so here.

HA> and what's top quote?

Top quoting is a terrible habit[*] picked up by users MS OE etc. and
involves writing replies all at the top of the message, have a block
of "Original Message ------" followed by some header information and
then quoting the *entire* original message below that point (ugly and
illegible).

[* Some business environments require** this method]
[** I dispute this and maintain that a good dose of education could
dispel this bad habit <g>]

HA> The line length is now 72.

Much better.

HA> ... Hopefully, Tha Bat wil get an extra Editor preference option
HA> for alternate editing behavior.

It has - "Auto Format". You have to leave a clear blank line between
paragraphs (as I have here) for it to work sensibly. You can toggle it
on and off (so that you can type lists etc. without the short lines
being auto-wrapped) using the Ctrl-Shift-F shortcut.
