Hi, Paul.

"on-line"

Thanks for the ref, Paul. AAMOI We (SHAW Stockbroking) are or are
about to look into providing an Internet service. I will also
activate my own account, probably put a modem on the machine at work,
when I have totally got to the end of the problems alluded to in
another communication and so have some time.

Regards, Paul.
