Land of the Flat Water While we are at it, and you seem very adept, tsuwm, how do you get things into that box, like the quote of my question in your reply above. (I am really new to computer use and need all the help I can get.)

Land of the Flat Water I clicked it as you said,
and now am clicking the quote button at the top of this page
Quote:IT WORKED
thank you very much: I presume it is the quote box at the top
of the page on this 'posting form' that I am to use, yes?

well, it depends on what you want. clicking the one at top gets you a QUOTE box, as opposed to clicking the one within a post, as I did here, which get you a box quoting the actual poster I'm replying to (i.e., you).

Land of the Flat Water OK
I'll bite: how do you get it to
l) say the part where you have "originally posted by.....)?
2) get that box within a box.

go back to my post that has "that box within a box."
click on the Quote button within that post.
enter your reply and submit. (the quoted matter is now long enough that you have a "scroll bar" on the right side of the edit box. use that to scroll down to the end of the quotes; i.e., until you see the flashing insertion point. that's where you want to type in your reply.)

Of course, you don't have an accent. Everyone else does, but not you.

As far as I can tell, everyone here has the same accent as me.
Which is not necccesssarilly a good thing.
