Yeah team. > Uh, tad... if you're gonna whip up so much enthusiasm, including advertising it in the abcfd20 message-of-the-day in CAPITAL LETTERS, could you at least spell 'new feature' correctly ? :-) :-) On another note, would it be possible to add another command which allows you to examine a .readme file over the link ? It just has to scroll past the screen, and then one can use the review buffer on the emulator (VLT) to scan it properly. It's a pain having to GET the readme, finding out it wiped the other file called readme on your disc... `!'escaping from ftp, reading it, realising you got the wrong one, exiting... or is this *too hard*.......:-) > Phil Morris (pmorris@dgi0.bbn.com) BTW: three rousing cheers to Tad for doing a great job as c.s.a/c.b.a. moderator ! It's appreciated!
