        I finally got Usenet access here, and I've found that it takes a LOT 
of time to work with-- as well as the fact that I'd rather not read every 
message that comes along, so I wind up skipping messages.
        There are terminal programs for IBMs and Macs that allow one to a) 
leave the program running, b) it will dial out automatically, and capture the 
necessary files, and c) present them to you later on. These programs also do 
something else which marks them above the standard capture buffer: they 
provide for tracking replies to messages.

        In a sense, they present the info to he user as though they're still 
on line, get the responses, and the next day they redial out and upload the 
replies.

        Are there any such programs for the ST? Or, conversely, are there any 
script files that will allow Flash to do this?
