- I've yet to figure out how to get my system to NOT append a signature (yeah, I
- know... I'm a real dummy!), but I'm using the begin-end workaround. Here's
- what I do...
-
- begin
- get waffle/whatever/neatstuf.zip
- end
-
- The "end" tells halcyon to stop processing, so it doesn't barf on my signature
- lines.
