Maybe itwould be easier to insert them as part of the original [append]. . . ?Ken's (and now my) desire to have an additional mechanism like [boldwords]available to tag certain strings would be the most cherished solution, but inthe meantime, I'll prolly give Olin's intricate [include] files a go.Sorry if my intentions weren't more clear from the start.
