 PB> Hi all,

 PB> I have a quick question if any one can give me some help.  What I want to

 PB> I set it up using a nice cron timing program and have managed to dial in

 PB> I'm using Thor (the best!) and one of the options is to download mail

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

 PB> Everything else I can do from backups to even switching on the lights and

 PB> Regards

 PB> Paul
