Templates: Set global alert keys (3)
2000-12-31 -- Roberto Artigas Jr
 
Newsgroups: TopSpeed.Topic.Templates

Editors note:  Please note that some lines may wrap in the template code.

Heavenes - I found a couple of similar templates posted in the newsgroups
and since I wanted to do something a little different (their posts where
not exactly what I needed) I created my own based on the information they
had posted. Here are the results.

Feel free make changes, enhance, and please post again.
Thank You
