I have huge problems with templates because there are many confusing options 
and difficult to find
documentation. So, I'm just going to list my several questions on templates 
that have been bugging
me:

There's a "Common Templates" section in the quick templates dialog. But every 
template also has a
checkbox for "share with other accounts". This is confusing. What's the 
difference? How does each
work?

In the same dialog, for each template, there are check boxes for "Use For" "New 
Messages", "Reply
Messages", and "Forward messages". However, in each of your Account properties, 
you have to set up
templates for all these categories anyway. Again, what's the difference, and 
how is each one meant
to be used? Furthermore, why do i even have to check those options?! Whenever I 
want to use a quick
template inside another template, I can always do so with the QINCLUDE 
function, right? I don't have
to check those boxes at all. Very, very confusing.

Is there somewhere that lists all the template functions in some kind of 
organized fashion? I'm
talking all the functions and how to use them? For example, the ISSIGNATURE 
command makes no sense
to me whatsoever.

Thanks for all the advice. I love the Bat, but there seriously needs to be a 
more convenient place
to find answers to these questions besides mailing lists newsgroups. A good 
help file would be
ideal. but I understand if that's not the developer's priority. At least a 
normal web forum or
something. Newsgroups and mailing lists are old-school. I still haven't set up 
my newsreader to be
able to reply to messages...all I can do is create a new message right now. OK, 
I'm done!
