     Hi all.  I am not the most computer literate person yet so if the
questions sound a little odd please be gentle with the flames. :)

     Right now I access relay from my IBM VM account.  I use the XYZZY
program along with my names file and I have no problems at all.

     I was wondering what files I would need to access relay from my VAX VMS
account?  Is their an equivalent to the XYZZY file for VAX?  And if I set up
a names file on my VAX account would it run the same as the IBM?

     Right now all I can do to access relay from my VAX is using the SEND
command.  At least I think that's all I can do.

     If anyone has any pointers it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Rich Jacobs
