 KR> Hello Micheal!

 KR> Yeah, i like the KISS principle, keep it short and simple. ;-)

 MP>> taglines are a *feature* some people like them, and a few don't.
 MP>> all I am saying is that there should be a way to randomly choose
 MP>> one more than the first

 KR> If you want to choose then it is not randomly. You're asking for a
 KR> dark light.


 KR> Or to go back to the KISS principle, what about RTFM?

 KR>         Taglines are usually one-liner jokes or wisdom or whatever.
 KR> They serve
 KR>         absolutely no technical function and are considered by some to
 KR> be
 KR>         waste of diskspace and modem time. In some conferences, they
 KR> may even
 KR>         be forbidden by the moderator, so if you want to use this
 KR> feature,
 KR>         check the conference rules first!

 KR>         The tagline support in GoldED is currently not very advanced.
 KR> You can
 >>       define some global taglines and manually select them from a
 >> menu,
 KR>         like you can with origins.
that part was not very well explained via configs.. and manual.. I have yet to 
get to display correctly

 KR> According to my reference docs it should be CTRL-I.
 KR> (Doesn't work here i think because taglinesupport no.)

 KR> If the system works like the origin system then you could have some
 KR> kind of sub-menus in the selection window. I have some single ORIGIN
 KR> lines in the config and then a reference mark to a different file:

 KR> ORIGIN " Monobox "
 KR> ORIGIN "You did it!"
 KR> ORIGIN "Seven holy path to hell"
 KR> ORIGIN "Ride the sky!"
 KR> ORIGIN @/golded/origin/origins.full.txt

 KR> That shows up as:

 KR> ............. Origins ............
 KR> .  Monobox                       .
 KR> . You did it!                    .
 KR> . Seven holy path to hell        .
 KR> . Ride the sky!                  .
 KR> . [origins.full.txt]             .
 KR> ..................................

what I read in advanced.cfg implied to me that its either your tagline file, or 

taglines that you have put into the config.. did not understand that it would 
do both

 KR> where [origins.full.txt] can be selected and reveals the full list.
 KR> Within the random system you could use the full list as a reference.

 KR> If the tagline system does work the same way then you could create
 KR> some kind of quick access list to your favorite selections.

 KR> Regards

 KR> Kai

thank you for explaining that

Micheal
