   I wouldn't know about that but if a user has an old parallel port     
   printer, that should work. Mine did back in the days when I used     
   CrossPoint.

   Yes, I have to agree and even a certain seasoned user has difficulty     
   finding stuff now and again.

   Yes, I could write the proverbial book about it all :-)   
      
    AA> Autopost sounds very handy for the busy writer or sysop.   
      
   It's very handy for a moderator to automatically post the echo rules.

   The reason why I added those as [PROS] was because all those four     
   items don't apply to the other two Point programmes.
