Ok, maybe you all can help with a debate I'm having with one of my PMs.

Whenever we need to tell somebody to enter their own specific information
(such as a machine IP address), I would like to put it in brackets. For
example:

"In the text box, enter <the IP address of the primary mail server>, as
illustrated below."

Here's another one:

"In the message body, type:
admin2 <your list name>
subscribe <list member's address>
adminend2"

As it stands now, it reads:

In the message body, type:
admin2 mylist
subscribe address
adminend2

where "mylist" and "address" are in italics.

Whaddaya'all think?

Thanks for all your wonderful input!
