Walter,  I also use windows to read messages, however, I have a
window set to just read the body of a regular message.  I make
this window a monitor window so as I go through messages, they
are read automatically.  We call this an Auto Alert Sub-Screen in
PROVOX.  If I hear USENET header information I can manually
invoke a window to just read me that body.  If a message
interests me I can then check top for subject, sender, receiver
etc.

 DS> Will Provox easily go into extended memory? 
 
The current version of provox does not automatically use extended or expanded
memory.  the next version, 4.0 will use expanded memory if available.  It should
be out some time in late winter or early spring.  I have heard that some of the
programs that use extended memory have had problems with  some programs,
particularly spreadsheets such as 1-2-3 that use extended memory.
Another option with PROVOX is to use a program like QEMM to move it to high
memory.  It is easy to move, because of its small size.
