APPSIG forms a wrapper around your editor, and offers the user the
opportunity to append a choice of signatures stored in his home dir
as *.sig files.

For Waffle usage, use this form of editor line:
(edit specific paths as appropriate)

appsig /access=1 /screen /command="c:\waffle\bin\appsig c:\user\%A q.exe %i"

Note that you may specify any editor with APPSIG.  It will search
the path to locate the program specified.  So, for BBStevie, you
would use

bbstevie /access=1 /screen /command="c:\waffle\bin\appsig c:\user\%A
    bbstevie ! c:\user\%A %i"

(with no line break, of course)

RALPH'S NOTES (with some help from Roy): APPSIG works only with
external editors and not the internal line editor.  Since many users
choose to use the internal editor (and not BBSTEVIE [grin]), they
miss the opportunity to use custom sigs.  However, sigs that exist
in their ~/user directory (mailsig and sig) and the systemwide
~/system/sig will get in the way of APPSIG when they DO switch from
the internal editor.

To work around this problem, place two empty files, sig and mailsig,
in the ~/user directory and hide them, using ATTRIB +H sig and
ATTRIB +H mailsig.  This keeps them out of the way where they can't
cause problems, and Waffle won't add extra stuff to the end of
messages.

Custom *.sig files are then created in the ~/user directory and
that's all there is to the installation.

When you save a news or mail message, you'll be presented with a
list of the *.sig files.  Choose one, and then you'll be offered the
opportunity to Save, Quit, Edit, or List your post.  If you choose
Edit, remember to choose 'No' sig the second time you save the
message.  Otherwise, you'll double up your signature.
