Thank you for that.  Flipping between Apoint and WinPoint can make me
dizzy.

DONE.

BTW.. The script feature looks interesting. I supposed it is designed to  
simplify repeated tasks? Do you use it - much?

Regarding "Editable right-click menus"  ..what is that, really?

I note that the Toolbar is "editable" to one's preferences, but I don't  
think you mean that.

DONE.

The multiple nodelist problem is a big one IMHO.

The "not indent quoted text" is a prime example of something cosmetic  
only.  ;)

DONE.  I created a new numbered note on the matter.

THANKS!

For the convenience of others lurking here and/or just picking up this  
echo, the updated list is here:  https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/
