Re: Message subfile outside a window?

["M. Lazarus" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

 I have already done that.  The subfile appears, but does not seem 
to be active.  That means that the first message displays, but I 
can't scroll through the messages when there is more than one message 
and I putting the cursor on the message and pressing Help/F1 doesn't 
display the second level text.

 Any other ideas?  Thanks.
