While we are on the subject.... i have yet to figgure out how to reassemble
multiple part postings. I can download single postings and unhex them OK.
The methods that I use are:
 1. save screen to file. this results in a text file with a header & 
footer for each screen that I need to manually strip off.

2. Cut from the screen and paste into a text editor (such as MockWrite).
  This second method initially takes longer but I end up with a clean
  download ready to run through Binhex.

I strongly suspect that there is a less combersome way to download from
binaries, but all the transfer protocals that I am aware of requires one
end to be sending in the protocal befor the other can receive it. I have
no idea of how I can talk binaries into XMODEMing me something.

Anyway, if I download a multiple part posting and clean up each part, how
do I join the parts so that they work. The text editor runs out of space,
and the word processing applications tell me I can not make a single 
paragraph that long. If I break it up into paragraphs, Binhex returns
an error statement. 

Being self-tought on this system, I strongly suspect that there is a
simpler solution that I have not been introduced to.

I would appriciate instructions on 'how to put it all together'.
