If you are on DialUp, find the help text for the program of that name -
or a Lite version of same - which is probably in your Internet
directory. It is designed to make it easy to get on line.  The Help text
may be in a directory called Manuals which has two PDF files, one for
DialUpLite and one for MessengerLite.

If you are on broadband, you may have to get "NetFetch" from R-Comp to
make it easy to connect to the right mail and news servers, though in
fact all that you need is inside DialUp - but is a bit tricky to get
going.

The two Lite programs were specially written (slimmed own actually) for
Iyonix, so it must be OK to talk about them here.  R-Comp may not be so
happy to help you as the programs were, I suspect, commissioned and
supplied by Castle.
