I was told it was probably targeted for the next release of UNIX. ferret was a pgm which read your mail and allowed you do most anything you wanted to via writing a special interface script which allowed for selecting on many options and then having an action field in which you indicated what you wished to do with the message. I used it there and loved it - but I suspect there are several good pgms available in the world which provide similar capabilities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Will Renkel - Motorola - Cellular 1501 W.
