Message-ID: <1494@microsoft.UUCP> Date: 2 Jun 88 17:48:40 GMT References: <868@fig.bbn.com> Organization: Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA Lines: 15 OK, so the "X" goes before any line with a ".". I'm sure that the "X" must also precede any line that already had an "X". Are there other characters in the first position that systems in the net will be sensitive to? One way to find out is to try it your (rs) way and see what pops up. I'd prefer to hear more, however, from anyone else who might know if any systems are sensitive to characters in the first position. --- nortond@microsoft.UUCP {decvax,decwrl,uw-beaver,hp-pcd}!microsoft!nortond Daniel A.
