In the situation we have, NUPop + a program from IU running under 
VMS, users are limited to acquiring 20 messages at a bite.  Some
chafe mildly at that.

I presume the value is controlled up on the VAX, but don't know
for sure.  Regardless of how to change it, I'd be interested in
hearing views on whether to set the ceiling higher (or lower). 
Thanks.   -- tracy
