The second one worked for me, Jeremy.  Because of my font in the  
Macbook email client I use (grrrr), it wasn't clear that you need a  
space between the last double-quote and the backslash of each line.   
That should have been obvious, but was once I got an error!  Most  
reflectors require plain text vs rich-text-font (rtf).  I have tried  
making some of my commands in Courier or Courier New (like these), so  
the fixed-width fonts take the guesswork out of proper spacing, etc.   
But, the email client I use requires me to send in rtf when I specify  
a fixed-width font.  So, I'm not sure if they come through the  
reflector that way.
