   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.
