assistant: John Aldrich wrote in a message to All:
If you can find the DOS REXX interpreter, and it is fairly consistent with
OS/2 REXX, I'll give you a REXX script that grabs tags from external message
files. It is easily edited and it will grab anything that I've run across as
long as I have the initial tag manager string configured.
I'm working on making it able to grab any line in the message, but I don't
have a lot of time at present.  I'm also working on making an external config
file that will allow you to just enter the tag manager string in and go with
this. I'm going to have to redesign it for this since I made some errors in
my initial design.  :(

Depending on what your message bases are (Hudson, JAM, Opus, or Squish)
then Tag-O-Matic will steal from your entire message base in one go.
It can also be used to steal from a single file (ie, the current message)
and can be setup on an F-Key.

Well you actually don't use Terminate per se, but rather use the mail
reader program TerMail that came with it.  Yes you can use Terminate to
receive and send the mail packets but you have to have a reader to use
them.  TerMail is a excellent program to so such.  If you installed it
with Terminate all you have to do is go through the configuration
program to set up for your needs.  This may take some time depending on
your working experience with text based cfg files.  After you get
TerMail running correctly you can add in TLX or what ever tagline
manager you prefer.  I personally like TMNice.
