The CompuServe user can use the /REPly command to address a letter back to
you.  I have consistently recommended this method (that the Internet user
write first and the CompuServe user /REPly) because the syntax for writing
to the Internet from CompuServe is this:

>INTERNET:user@site.domain       or if necessary
>INTERNET:bang!path!to!user

(the greater-than sign and the colon are necessary; a space after the colon
is permitted) and in my experience the site of it overwhelms most CompuServe
users.
