Maybe there's nothing new or extraordinarly bad to report in  
the realm of pointing.   :D

I'm still trying to wrap my head over the adhoc Origin line  
feature in OXP.  Dunno what to do with it.  I thought it would  
be better if it could access an associated text file and paste  
things akin to a tagline in there, or drop something  
preconfigured in a random way.  But as it sits right now, its  
usefulness seems wanting.

It is critical to know in advance how many chars the line can  
support including the space occupied by the node number.

And.. the adhoc one is replaced one with the static one if  
there is a need to re-edit the message body before sending it.

What is the designer's/programmer's idea behind the function?

How is anyone else using it?
