Barry and the broken @when...

[John Esak]

Yes, the top posting is really helping... but I'll deal even if it isn't...
no problem... However, I will tell you all that on my blind lists. There is
ONLY top posting and those guys are smart enough to go check previous
statements if needed... :-)  Don't worry, not trying to change anyone's
habits, but just FYI out of 11 lists I belong to and read actively, *this*
is the only one that doesn't top post everything.

Meanwhile... hell, that is really interesting about having an automatic
table... fixing the behavior of the BREAK key in this situation. And, you
are right, it is a painless work-around.  I was scratching my brain...
trying to determine why I hadn't run into this problem before. I generally
do NOT use automatic tables for much anymore, but in systems that are old
and constantly being refurbished with better @enstsel stuff... there are
legacy auto tables.

Very good Richard, very good.
