OK, now that sounds all well and good, and it would make sense
that the program would have been designed to do things that way.
The problem is that so far I haven't yet even discovered a way to
"gracefully" exit the message reader/writer and get back to the
mail menu screen.  I get back to the mail menu screen somehow by
hook and by crook, but not by graceful methods.  How do you get
back there gracefully?
