Lex: A couple of suggestions on using CIS: 1. Get away from the menus as quick as you can. You can set up you profile to have only a brief prompt displayed. Then use the commands instead of navigating thru the menus. Its really not that hard. Check out the help files. There was also a file in the Model 100 forum (GO M100SIG) called FAST.DOC (I think) that is a good explanation of the process. 2. Check out the PRACTICE forum. It's free and lets you get the hang of using the commands to read messages and download files. They also have a file in the library that lists all of the forums and the topics covered in the message sections and libraries. Its a long document but it really helps planning your on-line session. CompuServe is expensive in my mind but I keep my subscription active because of the tremendous breadth of the material on the system. While I do visit the M100SIG, I find Club 100 to be more helpful and more friendly. Like Robert, I prefer Genie's pricing and use it for general nation wide E-mail to write to friends and relatives. Hope this helps. =-= Greg =-=
