As do I.    But it's not in there.  I've looked through all of the folders
on my desktop,  and all of the folders that are in them,  and it's just not in 
there!  Weird...

Hmm.

Since you mentioned that,  I happen to have something on the desktop called
"Infoline" that displays some useful info as well.  I just checked it out, 
and there's a display date/time option that I had unchecked,  so it's
currently doing the job for me.

I'm still a little puzzled as to where the other one went,  though.

I don't seem to have that here.  Care to email it?  I'm trying a new thingy
here,  "incoming%tanstaaf@frackit.com",  which should bypass hassles with the
limits of message bases entirely -- it stuffs things into a disk file and
doesn't bother trying to gate it to the fido side.
