I guess I should have said ~$12 if I meant to use a vague term. Sorry for any confusion. However, ********************************************************* * * * THERE IS NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR DOWNLOADING AT 1200 BPS * * * ********************************************************* ( sorry for yelling, I wanted to make sure that all Compuserve users saw that ). The manual is in just plain **wrong**. -- Tim Smith ihnp4!{cithep,wlbr!callan}!tim
