OOPS!!!
Rotates an object to point along vector p from vector z
#macro PointTo(p)
#if (0+p.x=0 & 0+p.y=0 & 0+p.z=0)
#local RotX=0;
#else
#local RotX=-atan2(p.y,sqrt(pow(p.x,2)+pow(p.z,2)))*180/pi;
#end
#if (0+p.x=0 & 0+p.z=0)
#local RotY=0;
#else
#local RotY=atan2(p.x,p.z)*180/pi;
#end
rotate <RotX,RotY,0>
#end

You are using Netscape. Why don't you just set up a sig file and let
it attach automaticaly ?

You mistyped it again :)
Using notepad or any text utility type in:
David http://thmndtr.prphostinh.com/~davdf
---------------------------------------------
and save as sigfile.txt somewhere in your netscape folder.
Next open netscape preferences from the edit menu. Once open go to
-> mail & newsgroups/identity. You well see a dialog for signature
file. Add the path to your sigfile.txt file and close the preferences
dialog. You may have to close netscape for it to take effect but once
you have gone through these proceedures the next email you send or
news group article you post your new sig will be automaticaly appended
to the bottom of your message for you.
The following is speculation but you might look into it:
I have never tried setting up a different netscape profile but you might
also be able to set Netscape up so that when you start the program you can
have your own profile seperate from you fathers that lets you have all of
your own settings. This will allow you to change from Larry to David when
you are on line and let your father have his own set up identifying you
seperately. I'm sure you have seen the opening dialog when you start Netscape
that say's "manage netscape profiles". Set up one for you and a seperate
one for your father.

Hi, Ken. It's been a while since I've used Netscape to post messages on
newsgroups but I *think* that David's new sig will be appended automatically
when the message is sent. Wanted to mention this because I didn't want David
to worry needlessly that he couldn't *see* his sig pasted to the bottom of
his message before sending.

Whenever I open the message composer the sig is there and waiting for me
below any quoted text at the bottom of the screen. The double "--" is
inserted automaticaly by Netscape and is not needed in the .txt file.
