OK, fine, but what is the difference between that and making a couple
of small files containing all your format commands, say f1, f2, f3 and them
simply merging them into your job whenever needed?
As I said, I have been doing this even before XYwrite (with "dot commands"
in WordStar), so I am sort of scratching my head... where is the beef?
