Hi.
I mentioned it could be difficult with supernova, as the edit boxes aren't
labeled. Even now the boxes are unlabeled i believe as doris says, but the
first box is for email and if you are aware of that then it is perfectly
possible to invite someone to a folder. If you are still having difficulty
eleanor, drop me a note off list and i can go through it with you.
All the best,
Mo.
