Thanks for all the very helpful information re: posting math equations on
the web. I have forwarded them on to those who were seeking the
information (and also printed your responses for my files!).

So--here's another one. One of our colleagues would like to, via e-mail
in Netscape, send semi-personalized comments to his students concerning
their exams. [John, Overall, you did a very good job on your recent
mid-term. You might want to consider the following comments as you
prepare for the next test ...]

The exams are submitted in hard copy (not virtually) and are
typically 7 questions with several parts to each question. It is his idea
to write several comments for each of the parts of each question--one
comment explaining that the student hit the mark, one suggesting more
focus, etc. He would then like to be able to quickly plug these into the
e-mail message to the student. He does not want to use the web as a
document for these references. We have been talking about some sort of
macro system where he could strike a few keys and place the selected
comment into the e-mail.

hummm--any ideas?
