After I post messages,       the system sends the mail to standby and hangs, but any other program I want       to run will work.                     Regards,              Roger        --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: NCS BBS - Houma, LoUiSiAna - (1:3828/7)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/5 15/2 226/17 227/114 229/275 354 426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68       SEEN-BY: 633/280 3828/7 12       PATH: 3828/7 229/426           |
