Definitely on my "todo" list.  Based upon the Mail source and observed 
functionality I can write an EBNF syntax for message submission.  After 
that, can think about revisions to lift a constraint or two.

Currently working to understand this section in the _Using_Gadgets_ 
tutorial.
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/ETH_Oberon/Tutorial/GadgetsUse#The_visual_gadget_collection
Apart from the occurance in this tutorial, where does the help icon 
appear in Gadgets?
 
The second to last paragraph.
> Alternatively, you could insert an almost complete collection of 
> visual gadgets at once with a single click on BasicGadgets.Panel.

ETH Oberon / LinuxA2 Gen. 32-bit, rev.9799 has Gadgets.Panel; no 
BasicGadgets.Panel.  A renaming from an earlier release?  An error in 
the tutorial?

> ... all these gadgets are fitted with a 'custom' attribute 
> "Tutorial" otherwise not documented.

A gadget can have multiple attributes; correct?  How is an attribute, 
other than the first, selected in Columbus? Can anyone succeed to have 
Columbus display the Tutorial attribute for a Gadget?

Thanks,                              ... P.L.
