BINGO!!

I get it, now. One last question:

Does the #v+ and #v- mean the same as %BOS and %EOS?

Thank you and Steve for enlightening me. ;)

nb

The #v+ and #v- are 'verbatim marks' which slrn (and possibly other
enlightened newsreaders) recognise as meaning 'don't try any fancy
formatting tricks between these marks' - so that eg blocks of code or
scripts can be copy/pasted safely.

The %BOS and %EOS marks in slrn's scorefile syntax are for the benefit of
macros or scripts used to remove 'expired' scores - they identify the
Beginning and Ending of entries.
