You know you don't have any linefeeds in there?  Thankfully Pine will
justify the huge line that results. :)

You have to apply the patch from the src/ directory though.  The Oasis
patch is pretty touchy to any changes you have done.  Make sure you have
the one against bpl12 also, there is still one (v1.5 I believe) out for
bpl11.

It could be as easy as writing on a note, except then it wouldn't be saved
to disk.  You'd probably end up with a CON_IMOTD state.  They're not too
bad, take a look at the nanny() function in interpreter.c and the OasisOLC
code when writing descriptions.
