Hello Mary Ann,

About a year ago, I went looking through the shareware lists for
idea sorting programs.   As I recall, I found two: one for IBMs
and one for Macs.  The only way I could know the names of these
programs is to go back and check through the entire lists, which
you might go ahead and do yourself.  The IBM site which had the
program is at wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (FTP to get there).  Download
the list from the pd1:<msdos.filedocs> called simibm.zip.  The program
itself will probably be in the pd1:<msdos.education> directory, but
I'm not sure about that.  If you are not familiar with downloading
from these sites, read the documentation about it or send mail. I'll
be glad to give you the details.  (One hint: when you are logged
on to Simtel, type TENEX to get the proper downloading bitstream.)

Mike
