I thought I noticed some bold text - how do you do that with plain text?

It would be simpler for me at the moment to make two versions of BL3 than 
to write a script.  We are making more computers and won't have to share 
them for email soon.

You could not get the BL2 mail program to mailto:, just save the address.  
Can you get this program to actually mailto:?  Yes I want to use it, with 
links (and links-ssl, same config file).  Also with lynx.  

I have not yet tried microcom again - it is 3 pm and I skipped breakfast 
because this is such fun.

Today startx worked properly on both Win98 computers, both of which have 
windows himem.sys in config.sys.  Perhaps the class was with something 
else.  There is also windows emm386 in config.sys.

THe problem must have had something to do with the late hour.

This time it worked.
