Well I don't know how she is going to transfer Email to her offline email reader unless she uses Ami/TCP or Mlink. Thor is a good non-mui one that does email and usenet. For just email YAM is quick and easy plus its FREEware. You still need to setup Amitcp or Mlink though. BTW I really like YAM! >(that's all message continues..) >: also the hard drive has a problem in the startup script: >: instead of: assign blahblah: yackiti:shmakity >: it has : assin blahblah: yackiti:shmakity >: but this big 'oops' is way up in the script so the hard disk isn't being >: recognized, so she can't access it cause the script also fails at 20 >: instead of 21 (ie Failat 20 not Failat 21) Try CTRL D as soon as you reset. This will halt the start up and drop you into shell. The type sys:c/ed sys:s/startup-sequence and fix the boo-boo. Save and exit and you should be ok. -- Email: wizard@galstar.com WWW: http://www.galstar.com/~wizard Member <TEAM AMIGA> ANARCHY: Such a good idea, it should be the law.
