SubjectPosting style
I received this directly from Jim, but it clearly relates to my, and
most people's, postings, so I think it is a matter of general concern to
others on this list. Clearly I am guilty as charged, but so are most of
us, as we quite naturally tend to do the opposite, and sometimes embed
comments inside the copied message - especially 'natural' in reply to
the more elaborate postings with multiple questions or observations. 

I have no answer to the question about the < sign - can anyone help?

not sure, as it isn't in my PPC system right now (excel hates it) and
manual not much help, but maybe QuicKeys 3.5 (be sure to download update
for PPC) using "Decision." anyway, can't believe there isn't freeware
already out there. anyone?
