Hi all,
  I want to set up something so that when I reply to a mail
message in VMS mail with the \extract qualifier, the extracted
text is quoted in net style ie a > is inserted at the beginning
of the line.
 I think I can define a key to CALL VAXTPU- the  TPU procedure that will
do what I want, but I'm clueless on how to write the procedure.
I've just spent an hour looking thourgh the help menu of TPU, but
even the little 'test' procedure would not work. 
 Is there a kind soul out there who could write this procedure for
me? I imagine that if you already knew TPU it'd take 2 min....
-thanks in advance.
BTW if someone knows of another way to achieve the result without
using TPU, i'd love to hear about it.
