Hi Raymond,

 LH> Do I post the bulletins just like I do now

 RC> Yes.

 LH> Where do I put that script? 

 RC> The top of MAILCHEK.MEC is a good place for it.

    That sounds like a good place for it.

 LH> I guess I don't

 RC> You want it to be read only if you want to be the only

 RC> readonly.

   That's the way I have it set now.
