AggieDave 6 #2 April 2, 2004 You need to check the Markup help, you'll see the link when you reply to a post or post a new thread. To make it easy there are buttons below the text box to click that do it Quotefor you--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Also, the buttons at the bottom of the text box provide the appropriate markup for "reply to" or "quote" or URL stuff.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
