This sounds so easy I'm surprised I can't do it, but I did look through the manuals and failed. Can this be done? How? I did try various combinations of switches to repl, but it always (a) either prompts for more input form the terminal, or (b) aborts and leaves an unsent draft behind. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP:!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!dhesi
