Hi all,

I have a quick question if any one can give me some help.  What I want to
do is when I'm away from the keys to get the computer to dial up my
provider, download my mail and download my news and logoff.

I set it up using a nice cron timing program and have managed to dial in
and get my mail and logoff, but getting my news is a different matter..

I'm using Thor (the best!) and one of the options is to download mail
automatically, but there is no option for news as far as I can see...

Have I struck on an idea for a new arexx script for Thor to automatically
download news I'm not quite sure but would love to solve this problem once
and for all, so I can get completely automated, when I'm not about.

Everything else I can do from backups to even switching on the lights and
feeding my pet rabbit :-) but getting my news is a different matter.....

Regards

Paul
