Hi,

Are there any more is an additional question? * _ / the only ones?

I would like a cut and paste of any documentation found. I have not found
any so far, and I have a huge DVD of documentation.

How do you search? "+asterisk  +underline +forward slash" ???

The capability must have been available in the browsers for some time but
not used.

The BOLD first showed up followed soon by the Underline .

Then after several weeks delay the italics appeared.

It was fun watching the BOLD gain wide use and then the Underline .

The italics are still rare.

I have also just realized that OE has an unique feature that I have not
found elsewhere.

If you type something like
"News://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco", then OE will turn it
into a click able link.

If you paste a list the same thing happens.

Then you can copy the links and paste them into another program which does
not do the conversion.

news://pnews.thedbcommunity.com/pnews.announcements

news://pnews.thedbcommunity.com/pnews.newusers

news://pnews.thedbcommunity.com/pnews.paradox-discussions


I have not seen the conversion to links done as easily as that anywhere
else.

The display of graphics for emoticons is probably unique to "OEQuoteFIX", an
add on feature to OE, which does not support add on features.

Them programmers is smart!

Very good for Mozilla.
