~ Ahh, so!  Maybe I can help here Tony.

  You're using OSterm, if I remember the past msgs. in this thread, no?  I'm
not at all familiar with it, but I can tell you how to reply/upload in a
general way.

  Assuming you're logging on, capturing messages of interest, logging off and
reading them, what you.would do when you see a message you'd like to respond to
is this :

  Using an editor of some type or another (even Build is o.k.), for the first
line of the reply, enter 're' (or rep), a space, and the msg. nu ber you're
replying to.  The first line of this msg is 're 3848'.

  Type your reply/question/message.

  Type '/ex' or '/exit' in column #1 after your last line.

  Type 's' to store the message and let CIS rtformat it, 'su' to store it
exactly as you typed it, or 'pre' to preview it before it's stored either
formatted or unformatted.

  When you've got all your replies ready to go, log back in and at the forum
prompt '!', simply transmit each reply to CIS (CIS doesn't know that you're not
typing from the keyboard).  Be sure to use the ASCII transfer option.

  To upload to any of the libraries, go to the LIB you want to place your file
into and at the prompt type 'upl', and CIS will prompt you for the filename
which you then transmit. Next it'll ask you for KEYWORDS, a long description,
and I believe, a short description.

  Much harder to describe than actually do!

  There's a program in DL10 called 'View.ar' that I'm using now which allows
you to read your message file, print/save individual msgs., and reply to them
in a relatively simple fashion.

  Hope I've helped, but yell if anything's not clear.

  ...Jim
