Let me clarify my intentions and see if this makes any sense. The
index listing comes in the following order:
1. index listing of messages
2. message text on how to retrieve posts
3. commands for ordering messages
Now this is fine for the first time or two for the person who has
never used this before. However, the predominant use is for
people who are using it more than one or two times. Therefore,
they do not want to have to wade through the message text to get
to the ordering commands.
What I wanted to do was to reorder items 2 and 3 so that the
commands come right after the index listing. That way, familiar
users could just go to the "order form" after reading the indexes
making it easy for them. Since the commands are only a few lines
it would not impose on those who wanted to continue down and read
the text. Just a more user friendly order, that's all.
I see now that is not possible from my end and so I would like to
request that if this territory gets revisited in anyway this
change be considered, including the Echo=No to the Job card.
Many thanks,
