                            Using the Tagline Support


     GoldED directly supports the popular taglines, which look something
     like this in messages:

      ... tagline
      --- GoldED 2.50
      * Origin: whatever (2:236/77)

     Taglines are usually  one-liner jokes or  wisdom or whatever.  They
     serve absolutely no technical  function and are considered  by some
     to be waste of diskspace and modem time. In some conferences,  they
     may even be forbidden by the moderator, so if you want to use  this
     feature, check the conference rules first!

     The tagline support in GoldED  is currently not very advanced.  You
     can define  some global  taglines and  manually select  them from a
     menu, like you  can with origins.  Taglines can also  be defined in
     random system groups, where they will be chosen randomly. For those
     with existing tagline collections, you can specify the filename  of
     the tagline collection. Then a  random tagline will be picked  from
     the collection.

     Taglines  in  messages  are  detected  and displayed in a different
     color (definable with COLOR READER TAGLINE).

     Here are the keywords for tagline support:

      TAGLINE <text> or @<filename>     Defines a tagline or file
      TAGLINECHAR <char>                Defines the tagline character
      TAGLINESUPPORT <yes/no>           Disable internal tagline support.

     If you  define taglines  globally, GoldED  automatically adds extra
     menu  items  to  the  EDITMENU  and  EDITSAVEMENU,  to allow you to
     manually select  the tagline  either before  entering a  message or
     when saving it.

     Like for origins, it is also possible to change the default tagline
     by using the READchangetagline  command. Default key assignment  is
     Ctrl-I. Example for GOLDKEYS.CFG:

      ^I  READchangetagline

     Future plans for the  tagline function include: Command  to "steal"
     taglines.  Tagline  collection  file  browser.  Tagline  "filters".
     Please  note,  however,  that  tagline  features  are generally low
     priority. So don't hold your breath.
