There is a email gateway between the Internet and Compuserve.  In order
to use it to transfer files from compuserve, you'd need to be able to
get the files into a format that compuserve's email handler can access.
If you are moving files from a personal file area there's no problem.
If OTOH you're transferring data from a clipping service like ENS, go &
send them to yourself (this assumes you've got a compuserve id), and
then remail them out the gateway.  If you're trying to send forum files,
I don't see an easy way you can get 'em to a point that they can be
emailed (other than uploading into a PC and downloading into mail -
yecch!)

Anyway, the format to mail from Compuserve's email to the Internet is
to use the To: address ">INTERNET: usrid@location".  Actually, old
style "!" addresses work, too, for the UUCP crowd.

Hope that answered your question.  If not, please follow up - "we're
always open!"    :-)
