Good Morning, Linda -

About that message on 11-07-1998 from Linda Hargraves to Roger Nelson:

 LH>     I am sure of that, I am finding lots of people interested enough
 LH> to be of real help with my questions.

The one single mod I had to make when I dropped 3.01 into my 2.02
setup was in max.ctl. 3.01 has a FirstMessageArea and FirstFileArea
default you must specify, so that first-time users can land in those
areas. The verbs are already in the .ctl file; you just have to
put in your area names or numbers. Even if you forget, when a user
selects Messages, it will prompt them for a message area.

All my hard-earned ansi menus and mecca stuff never knew anything
had changed.

The ONLY work/learning you will have to do is if you want to
use new features that don't exist in 2.02. Initially I did this,
then went back to a generic system because I seem to have a
set of unteachable users.

Go ahead, the water's fine, and we'll all be here to help if
you get shakey.
