What I've been doing here is to review all my replies (shift-R)
before I leave YARN. If I'm not satisfied with one, I delete it and
re-post it later from my POSTED or MAILED folder, after I've worked on
it some more. If I did this much, I might set up a special folder
(PENDING? REWORK? 00REWORK?) for these things.

editor=command.com /c kedyarn
C:\BAT\KEDYARN.BAT (since kedit params are even wierder than
ed's):
kedit %1 (WIDTH 1000
Another .bat I use, since the night I typed "expirex -r" by mistake:
YEXPIRE.BAT
set YARN=d:\yarn
set HOME=d:\mwilson
d:\yarn\expirex.exe -o
