---- The easiest way to clear old messages (i.e., reset your last-message-read pointer) is to simply read the last message in the base. Your message pointer will be set to the last message in the base, then each time you come online you simply select (R)ead <N>ew messages. To read back about a month, simply select (R)ead <F>orward. You will be prompted for a starting message number. Simply select a number a few hundred less then the highest number and see if you're close. If you're not close, simply select "S" for stop, select (R)ead <F>orward again and select another number--plus or minus your last guess. These instrustions are best for the (1)Conference area. In the (3)ElecMail area, where all mail is between you and selected individuals, you simply (R)ead <B>oth in and out boxes, <F>orward <enter>, then delete all of the messages you encounter. That will clean out your private mailbox. I would appreciate it if you would not delete your messages in the (1)Conference as these make up the shared-knowledge base on this system. Hope this helps... -Rick-
