@BMailMerge @P@ICopyright Gold Disk Inc., Jan, 1993. Close-up added by Don Cox, Feb.93.
This genie will load a tab or comma delimited merge file and print multiple copies of the current document. It will substitute the merge string in appropriate places. In this version, if the names of the fields end in a numeral (e.g. ADDR1, ADDR2, etc), blank lines will be closed up.
In order to delimit a field as a merge field, you must surround the merge
text with double guillemots. Example:½½Name╗╗
Open guillemot: alt-9
Closing guillemot: alt-0
