- *INCLUDING* not "running off the end of the file"???

- If so, then please tell me where to get a copy; it isn't available
- *here*... But it's useless to me if I need a sys admin to install
- it for my own personal use. (um.. please do tell me anyway; I might
- know someone who can be of some assistance.) :-)

- Of course, using a pager not default with "elm" creates a problem;
- one cannot issue "elm"-related commands from within non-default
- pagers. So one needs to quit the pager to even issue a "reply"
- command... :-(
- Same kind of problem when using an other editor than which comes with
- "elm". :-(
