Smart move, Kari.

Once upon a time... :-)  I used to sort my Max user base.  After realizing 
that this was a bad idea with EasyMail installed, I stopped doing it (of 
course). Now, I can't figure out why I ever did it in the first place.  'Bout 
the only thing sorting does for you is make the list look slightly better 
when a user does a query on the BBS.  I'd rather make email easier for the 
callers than worry about the appearance of the user listing.

Ahh, but the unit works! :)
