Well, I've managed to get things working using Brian's tip about 
putting the mailhost command on a function key. I haven't got either 
the timer line or the quiet line in my setup: what do these do and 
should I add them in, bearing in mind everything seems OK at the 
moment?

BTW, for anyone using Demon thinking of switching to NOSPOP3 (judging 
from a thread on c.s.a.s, the kill file bug is fixed in it, though I 
haven't tried it yet to confirm), it *does* have all the SMTP stuff 
intact (at least it happily downloads my Demon mail in the usual way). 
I made no changes to STARTUP.NOS with the exception of adding the POP3 
stuff.

Cheers
John

As an afterthought, it occurs to me to check out if it's fixed the 
percent bug in Usenet postings: there should be two percent signs 
here: %
