Hello John,

On Sun, 16 Nov 2003 21:57:25 -0600 your time, you said:

JM> I don't understand this, could you explain it to me in a little more
JM> detail?
JM> Maybe a "for instance" or example or twol
JM> Thank

Above  is your message quoted. In this case I selected/highlighted the
text in your message that I was replying to and then I hit the F4 key.
As  you  can  see, TB! doesn't mess about with the quoted text at all,
which  is  correct, as it is "quoted". However, sometimes when text is
quoted  it can prove to be a bit unwieldy, especially when the message
you  are replying to hasn't been wrapped beforehand and the text is on
one  line  that strays across the width of the screen (say 130 or more
characters  for  example).  I'd therefore want to quickly reformat the
lengthy  quoted  lines as I was replying to make them easily readable.
To  do  this I'd simply place the TB! caret anywhere within or next to
the quoted text with a single mouse click, and then either hit the ALT
+  L key to wrap the lines to the word wrap setting I'd previously set
in Editor Preferences, or I'd hit the ALT + J key to wrap the lines to
the word wrap setting and justify the text as well.

This is your text after I've clicked anywhere in the text message to
place the TB! caret, and then hit ALT + J:

JM> I  don't  understand  this, could you explain it to me in a little
JM> more detail? Maybe a "for instance" or example or twol Thank

Another  example of when the wrap shortcut keys are useful is when you
are  typing  a message with TB!'s autowrap feature on, and go back and
edit parts of the text. For example, if I typed this:

The  quick  brown  fox  jumped  over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox
jumped  over  the  lazy  dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
dog.

and then went back and corrected it like this:

The  quick  brown  fox  jumped  over the *lackadaisical feline*. The quick brown fox
jumped  over  the  lazy  dog. The quick brown fox *leap frogged* over the lazy
dog.

The text would need reformatting. So a simple ALT + J/L would reformat
it.

And  after  this  explanation  I've  just  realised that what you were
asking  me  to  explain  was  an  error.  Doh! Ah well, I'll send this
anyway. Someone else might find it useful...well you never know.
