Never got those letters which is why I am responding here in the echo as 
well. There are other features that 5.1+ does do, like shell out to dos with 
a lower amount of memory consumed and it uses far less memory to begin with.
remember...what I try to do is take old machines given to me and make the 
work as well as possible for people with HIV or AIDS.
I have found that 5.1+ is:
- very speedy from 486's DOWN to 8088's and all machines in between.
- Can FAX from Pokey old machines with a reliable fax modem
  ( I made a funny!)
- Can have psudo Menu's by using the Network feature and allow up to
  5 letters to boot. this means I could add a screen with LARGE LETTERS
  for Visually Imparred by/to my own design
I have to get 5.1+

that actually WAS the fun part.
