This is very handy, never realized this feature till the other day.

I personally don't care for forwarding the entire @ww and so on, BUT
at the same time I have stuff that I would like to send out to @WW every
so often, so what I used to do was uncomment the ww in my forward.bbs
to specific partners, then forward my stuff, then comment it out again.

Inconvenient, and also it forwards the entire @ww area.

So how does one forward only what they want to forward to @ww ?

Setup an obscure area on your JNOS and post to it, for example :

     sp rpr17mhrd at mb

Then in my forward.bbs, I can specify something like this below :

    k5dat
   #c wisconsin k5dat-7
   net k5dat-7
   #b10000
   .bbs
   k5dat
   #ww
   mb ww

Note the extra parameter 'ww' after the 'mb' area.

This works really really good, the forward writes the @mb to @ww on
the way out. I really like this, thought I would share it to all, in case no
one knew about this - it is actually documented in the original docs.
