>When entering code into the new message how do I get the colour coded coding (white backgroud, blue command words etc)?

John, Hector told you how to make a block of code with < PRE > and < /PRE >. You can also get just a "phrase of code" with < CODE > and < /CODE > like this.

Many other HTML tags work here too. For example you can make fonts larger, colored, bold and italic. (Hit reply to see how I did it - that's how I learned much of the HTML I know.) Finally, if you use HTML tags, be sure to use the Preview button to avoid embarrassment! < BG >
