   The entry point for TEXT is 24046 (5DEEH).  I know that it is possible
to change the menu/exit key somehow to return to BASIC, but I am not sure
how.  Some programs (such as X-Tel) do this.  To pass the filename to the
editor, you can put the filename characters in the keyboard buffer (by
POKing them to the appropriate locations).  I'm not sure where the keyboard
buffer is located offhand, but try one of the many list-of-pokes list
that you find lying around CompuServe, etc.

   I've finally finished what I think is a more or less working copy
of a "networking" program for the Model 100.  The program allows you
to send messages to any other user (via modem), which can contain
program listings, normal messages, or any other form of text.  It
allows forwarding as well -- theoretically you could send a message
from one state to another at no cost, as long as there is a M100 user
every few miles away.  It also allows "newsgroups" or "mailing lists"
similar to INFO-LAPTOPS or net.micro.trs-80, etc., whose messages will
be sent to only those whose names are associated with the newsgroup in
a list of hosts and numbers stored on the M100.

   What I need is a few people who are willing to run this software for
about four days in order to work out any bugs.

			CRITERIA/CONDITIONS:

 * You must have a Hayes-compatible modem and a Model 100
 * You must be willing to keep your M100 running during the night for
   up to four days (AC adapter of course!)
   NOTE:  The software waits until 1:00AM to start operating, so just run
   the program before dozing off for the night, unplug your phone,
   and the software will start itself at 1:00.
 * Each day you must enter a couple test messages with the TEXT editor.
   Just leave them there and the program will take care of them (and will
   kill them off after they've been sent)
 * You must live in the masachusetts area, unless you're willing to
   pay for the cost of sending each message out at 1:00AM (a few
   messages a day)

   If you meet the above terms, and are willing to help out, please contact
me.  Give me your voice telephone number and the hours at which I can
reach you.  I will contact you about receiving a network address, how to
use the software, etc.
