Hello Jon!

In a msg of <20 Apr 91>, Jon Guthrie writes to Robert Garcia:

Not exactly.....

                                ^^^ wrong....

 JG> created said message.

 JG> The only way to go is to look in the origin line.

Wrong!

The point is coded in the message-file in the message-section:
CHAR(0) 'FMPT ' n       the point number of the sender
CHAR(0) 'TOPT'  n       the point number of the reciever

You can see these codes in many editors, if you set 'view control data on'.

Cu,
  Markus
