The QUOTE or QU command allows you to specify which lines of a parent

with line numbers (as if an RP had been issued) and you will then be
prompted to supply the lines to quote.  Lines may be specified as follows:

               nn    : Quote line #nn.
              -nn    : Quote FROM line #1 TO line #nn.
               nn-   : Quote FROM line #nn to the end of the message.
               nn-mm : Quote FROM line #nn TO line #mm.

You may then C)ontinue with the rest of your editing session.

                     Syntax: QU[ote] [; begline - endline]

If you stack the lines to be quoted, Auntie will not redisplay the parent
message.  This is handy if you already know which lines you want to quote.

àFormat

The Format command allows you to reformat all or part of your message to
any line length between 35 and 80 characters.  This can be a handy feature
if you have added a word or phrase in a line already written thereby making
it longer then your default right margin setting.

You will be prompted to supply the lines to reformat.  Lines may be
specified as follows:

               nn    : Format line #nn.
              -nn    : Format FROM line #1 TO line #nn.
               nn-   : Format FROM line #nn to the end of the message.
               nn-mm : Format FROM line #nn TO line #mm.

Example: f ; 78 ; 12-22

Warning:  Don't reformat messages which have QUoted ">" text in them.
Doing so is harmless but will rearrange the previously added quotes.

Syntax:  F [[;] nn [;beglin - endlin]    where nn is the new line length,
35-80 characters and beglin and endlin are the beginning and ending lines
to be formatted.  The entire message will be reformatted if you just hit
enter.ê
