Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can make any sense out of it on my other computer.

Does that fact that I use aol as my internet provider (and dial-up) mean that I won't be able to recognize the steps you've provided?

We must also take into consideration that I'm a complete incompetant when it comes to what most people think is obvious computer stuff.

I'm not really an idiot, but I have no real background in computers. When I was in school computers used fortran, and IBM punch cards.

Worst case is that I will have to resort to using this old machine to access the boards and will have to resign myself to never sending any more stories to the boards (since I do my writing on the pc).
