(I do this all the time). Better, if your Mac runs HyperCard and MultiFinder (now free with all Macintoshes) you could create your own PERSONALIZED address-book with fields large enough to store even the most obscure E-mail address. Again, you could cut and paste between book and application. (Where the application could include a terminal emulator logged on to a remote host). Best, (if you were feeling particularly enthusiastic) with HyperCard, you could actually write a SCRIPT in HyperTalk that would do the "cutting" and "pasting" for you. Sincerely, Sunil Maulik ARPA/BITnet: Maulik@bionet-20.arpa BIONET (415)-324-4363 P.S. Disclaimer: I have no relationship to Apple Computer, etc. etc. P.P.S. The BIONET MM program allows you to specify a filename at the "To:" prompt containing one or more E-mail addresses within it. Simply precede the filename by the "@" sign at the "To:" prompt. For example, I have a file called CASSATT.ADD containing: CZJ@NIHCU.BITNET When sending mail to this esteemed personage, I simply type at the "To:" prompt: To: @CASSATT.ADD and MM pops in " CZJ@NIHCU.BITNET ". -------
