[arm-allstar] *81

[Orrin Winton]

Doug, thanks, i got it working this time. My problem before was not the
spacing of the * * *
Could the problem have been that i didn't have your code <<all on one
line>>? In other
words, i had line breaks without a \ to continue the line. ... At any rate
it's working.

There's no 'danger' of this going out onto the Allstar network when i'm
connected, is
there? (Just checking. Ignorant question i'm sure.)
