Hmmm... the first time I went in that way, a few years ago, I had a lot of message areas that I'd much earlier selected from the traditional dialup interface, they carried over. I'm pretty sure I didn't select them again... well, 99% sure. It's been a few years. >After the first time they do that and click [Send Changes], they won't have to > do it on subsequent logins. I'm still trying to understand this (there are probahbly only a few thousand such interfaces I've learned in the past). It's hard for me to believe I would have selected everything else, and left out my own! Well, you give me hope that I will be able to add it. And that the directions I already gave to the gang in i-mail will be adequeate to get them here. > When I first tried the Web interface, I was able to 'find' the areas I wanted > with Firefox Web Browser by pressing Ctrl+F for the 'Find' prompt. CTRL-F from firefox! Okay, good to know. I'll have to try that. > I typed in the message area I wanted to find on the page in that prompt.
