I finally got Usenet access here, and I've found that it takes a LOT of time to work with-- as well as the fact that I'd rather not read every message that comes along, so I wind up skipping messages. There are terminal programs for IBMs and Macs that allow one to a) leave the program running, b) it will dial out automatically, and capture the necessary files, and c) present them to you later on. These programs also do something else which marks them above the standard capture buffer: they provide for tracking replies to messages. In a sense, they present the info to he user as though they're still on line, get the responses, and the next day they redial out and upload the replies. Are there any such programs for the ST? Or, conversely, are there any script files that will allow Flash to do this? Brian Siano-- no signoff text yet, but I'm working on it.
