Lines: 23 [The referenced article is a tutorial on how to do followups.] Well, actually, it's even easier than that; when the news readers (at least, vn) invoke the editor, they set the "alternate file" to the file you're following up on. So, if you're using an editor that has an "alternate file" just type the command to switch to it (in the Rand Editor it's ^_) and, "voila!", there's the file you are following up on! > Sorry, net.singles, if this is irrelevant, but I think everyone should know > how to drag in a quote (and edit it down!) for praise or flames.... Well, shucks, everyone needs a tutorial now and then. (Although they especially seem to need it in net.music, where often the entire article being followed-up-on shows up down at the bottom of the new article.) -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
