   Hmmm... the first time I went in that way, a few years ago, I had a lot of   
   message areas that I'd much earlier selected from the traditional dialup   
   interface, they carried over.  I'm pretty sure I didn't select them again...   
   well, 99% sure.  It's been a few years.

   I'm still trying to understand this (there are probahbly only a few thousand   
   such interfaces I've learned in the past).  It's hard for me to believe I   
   would have selected everything else, and left out my own!   
      
   Well, you give me hope that I will be able to add it.  And that the directions   
   I already gave to the gang in i-mail will be adequeate to get them here.

   CTRL-F from firefox!  Okay, good to know.  I'll have to try that.

   Sounds complicated, but I'll give it a go, Once again, the mousy interface,   
   the one that's supposed to make it brainlessly easy for everyone, eaven   
   without any knowledge nor experience, is what's really making it   
   mind-numbingly arbitrary and absolutely non-instinctine.   
      
   Zorgu!
