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.....
