There are times that I like to list in a post the GET commands for various
files. It is nice to be able to also add a comment after them. For example
I'd like to put in a message:

GET OWNR-FAQ.BANNERS    Message Banners
GET OWNR-FAQ.BULKADDS   Bulk Adding of Subscribers
GET OWNR-FAQ.EUDORA     Eudora tips

But the way it is now a person would have to delete the description after
the command before they can tag the block of commands and send them in. I
thought that maybe I could do:

GET OWNR-FAQ.BANNERS    (Message Banners
GET OWNR-FAQ.BULKADDS   (Bulk Adding of Subscribers
GET OWNR-FAQ.EUDORA     (Eudora tips

and it would realize that after the open parenthesis it was a comment. But
alas no. So, is there any character that means anything following is a
comment? Then people could tag the entire block and just send it in as is.
If not, Eric could you add it to your suggestion list?

Don.
