Soitanly!  Nyuck!  Nyuck!

If you know the user's PPN (CompuServe User ID number), you send mail thus:

    xxxxx.xxxx@compuserve.com

Note that you have to replace the "," in the PPN with a "."  As my .signature
below shows, my PPN is 75006,1355.  To send mail to me on CompuServe,

    75006.1355@compuserve.com

will do it.  They can also send mail to you from CIS via Internet.  I think
the syntax at the CompuServe end is something like

    EMail!  send >INTERNET:yourname@host.domain

The CIS EMail help system explains this fully.
