Correct, SlyEdit doesn't automatically show text for quoting on startup.  Quoting in SlyEdit works the same way as in IceEdit and DCT Edit, which SlyEdit is based on. 

Is there something in the documentation or help screens that you think could be improved to explain things?  This is the 2nd thing you have mentioned lately that seemed unexpected (the other being the DDMsgReader posting issue, that it doesn't include an editor).  If you have any suggestions for improving the documentation, please let me know.
