OK, here's a few for starters :-)

[APoint] CONS

This should be in [WinPoint] CONS.

installed.
Internal editor does not indent quoted text.


Comments
========

[Apoint] CONS
-------------
"- JAM support broken. Only Apoint message base (AMF) supported."

I don't think this is entirely true because if you look at one of your  
own posts of the 26th April where you included one of my posts from  
way back in 2003, I said this: "APoint will handle a JAM message base  
that APoint itself has created ......". As development stopped  
sometime in 2001, I'm assuming that my statement from 2003 is still  
correct. However, we've recently discovered a cosmetic issue when  
converting an existing AMF format message area to JAM format. Based on  
all that, it may be better to say something along the lines of  
"Cosmetic issue after converting an AMF format area to JAM format".  
I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do :-)

Regards,
Martin
