Quoting in a forum post

Ok. Went through the help and it didn't. I was looking at a posting in the forum and saw a comment by KJM to which I wanted to respond. I hit the Quote button and all that popped onto the message section was (b)KJM(/b) (obviously it used brackets). So where was the section I actually wanted to quote? Do I have to copy the section I want and paste it before the /b or after? Or does it just automatically know what I want (LISP has really come a long way since I was programming in it, I guess)? The humiliating thing about asking this is I used to be quite good at programming and now I can't seem to figure out where to put the PRINT and INPUT in this damnable HTML language.

Februs is good, but not THAT good in his programming.

You need to highlight what you want to quote, and THEN hit the quote button.
