   In a message on Sunday 02-21-16 Jean Parrot said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Hi Jean,   
      
    HG> I have set Opera as my Internet Browser, but even though I write the   
    HG> address to the system I want to visit, Google comes into play to find   
    HG> the address I already know :o(   
      
   JP>    Go to Tools -> Manage add-ons -> Search Providers and at the bottom   
   JP> "More Providers" search for Opera. Voil….   
      
   I had Johan, my eldest GS here over the weekend, but after he returned to   
   Stockholm, he works there, I've been working on Opera and my e-mail prg.   
      
   First of all, I found the menu at the upper left corner. It didn't have   
   exactly the choices you suggested, but by cut-and-error I got some things   
   done.   
      
   I got rid of the search-engine icons from the opening screen and put in a   
   couple of favourite sites instead, and now I can set the address where I   
   want to go, without interference by Google.   
      
   If I want to use Google, I just use the 'g' command to call it up.   
      
   On friday I checked with the ISP I used B4, if my previous (resting),   
   account was still available, and it is. Since the same mail program I   
   used under OS/2, now is available (PMMail) for Windows too, and all the   
   files are compatible between the versions, I've been copying them to   
   Win10 too.   
      
   It was quite easy too, since I had made backups of everything on a couple   
   of diskettes, when the ISP ceased POTS support, three and a half year   
   ago.   
      
   But the names of the mail accounts have changed, so I want to know if the   
   old names of my configuration still work, and also If I have to make any   
   configurations in Windows setup, as we had to do in earlier Win versions.   
      
      
   CU AGN, Sam, OH0NC   
      
   aka Holger
