> Aack! I'm glad you brought that up. Absolutely do not make use of the word wrap "feature" in Notepad. All line breaks have to be hard line breaks, i.e., actually hit return so that resizing the window and/or changing the font does not reformat the text. If there isn't a hard return character, the AGL engine will read it all, and lines can't be longer than something like 120 characters or so -- I'll have to check on that, but if you hit a hard return whenever you get near the left edge of the screen, you should be fine.

Good. That's exactly what I was wondering about.

Oh, it wouldn't be all that difficult for me to get a second email account set up, since it's included in the 'Net access package from my ISP (Javanet). I've never bothered setting it up, though, simply because I didn't feel like downloading or installing Netscape Navigator, which is the application Javanet provides its customers for Net access and email. I'm pretty happy using Internet Explorer 5 for Web surfing, and didn't want to take up more hard disk space with Netscape just so I could have email file attachments, since that has rarely been an issue with my Juno account so far.

However. I've recently installed a nice new IBM 10GXP hard drive, so drive space isn't a concern any longer, and I'll probably put Netscape on my machine and start using my Javanet email account sometime soon. I really only brought it up at all because I expected you to react with the horror and disbelief that you did, which was sort of amusing. :-)
