We do this to get the a higher top scrolling speed.  Since we try to script  
everything, we want to blast the text across the screen as fast as possible  
(and pay less in connect time), capture it to a file, log off, and bring it up  
in a custum front end.  For 1.0, we will have some very nice front ends that  
show this off.

Chat mode, on Compuserve, is a special mode that could be duplicated with a  
custom front end.  We don't support it now, but we are looking into a chat mode  
for our 1.0 release.  If it's not in then, we can always distribute a document  
that does a chat mode.

Thank you very much.  And for people wondering why you only paid $99, you  
should tell them it was part of a bundle deal with HSD (at least I am assuming  
it's with HSD).
