Before I ask about my oddity I want to thank Ed West for solving my problem with opening Hyperlinks and thank all of you that took so much time to help me. This is the new quirk with Pens puter a friend sent me a wav file with aol's you've got mail in it which I'm using for my e-mail. The problem is this this guy says I got mail when there is no mail coming in but worse still he tells me when I'm not even on line. Any idea how to teach him to say you got mail when I rreally have got mail? Pen Anyone who thinks old age is golden must not have had a very exciting youth. Power is having the right words.
