As to your second suggestion, I agree that it should be sent almost everyday from seeing the number of errors that appear in my mailbox everyday which on the average is about 10/day. However, I don't think that most users will appreciate getting instructions on how to send commands everyday. I haven't had a chance to read info-apple in a while so I don't know what kind of discussion has been going on but I know that Murphy Sewall has been keeping me informed and has been sending almost weekly posts telling users how to use the server. I hope that it is helping some people. If you have any specific problems send them directly to me or it may not get answered. I tend to answer personal mail first then when I get a chance to read info-apple, I answer those. Chris
