Numbers are unique, names are not. >Or is there a postmaster at Compuserve that would mail me the person's ID. No. If you don't have Compuserve access yourself, you'll have to ask someone who does to search for the user's PPN. It might shorten the search if you happen to know what Forum(s) the person hangs out on. But unless you're trying to send a surprise birthday message, why can't you just ask the person you wish to reach what his/her PPN is? Jean-Pierre Radley NYC Public Unix jpr@jpr.com CIS: 72160,1341
