This sounds good. My girlfriend's work computer is used by others in her 
lab, though the Eudora on it is hers soley. I help her out with computer 
stuff, but I'm just a good end user and not an expert. I've never 
written a script. Would you mind sharing your PGPDisk/Eudora script, 
please?

How is the placement of the Eudora folder handled? An alias is made of 
the folder once the folder is moved to the PGPDisk? She'd be running 
this on OS 8.1.

Many thanks,
Chris
