I've received a slew of responses, more than I would have thought. I've
been pointed in a couple of directions, one being to pursue the
scripting avenue and another as being a "point" off my local BBS, with
shareware programs available that work through the Wildcat environment.
One of the programs is COMMO65.zip. The name of the other program
escapes me right now. But, If you're interested, let me know and I'll
forward to you the raft of info I've received with program names, BBS
numbers, author names; etc.
One author has even offered to send a disc with a program partially
configured to ease in my set-up operation.
Nothing would please me more than, at this early stage, to be able to
pass along some of the great help I've received.
Take care.
