Hi,
	I have the following questions regarding the Prodigy/Inter-
	net gateway. I tried the Prodigy support number (800) PRO-
	DIGY, however the person who answered couldn't help much.

	* I know that Prodigy provides an Internet e-mail gateway.
	  I don't understand why I must "download" the messages for 
	  reading.  Why can't I read them while online to Prodigy? 
	  Will the mail-reader program that they want me to download
	  be able to read these messages?

	* What other "Internet Services" is Prodigy planning in the
	  future? Will I be able to read the Net-News news groups 
	  while online to Prodigy? Will I be able to reply and post 
	  messages to these groups? Will I be able to do anonymous
	  FTP, TELNET and Archie?

	Thanks for the help, any info would be appreciated.

	...steve...
