I just want to thank all the dozens of people who ventured a guess as to
why my mail to friends on CompuServe bounced.  I must have hit on a popular
subject because in less than 24 hours I received dozens of replies; however,
only 4 people correctly noticed that I was inadvertantly leaving off the
final "e" from compuserve in the address.

To summarize:

To send mail to people on CompuServe, if the person's CIS i.d. is 76543,210
you would address your message to 76543.210@compuserve.com

To send mail from within CIS to someone on Internet you would append
a >INTERNET:   to the person's address; so to send mail to me address it to

>INTERNET:chaim@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

You currently can shorten the >INTERNET: to just >INET: but I've been
informed that CIS will soon do away with that and require you to spell
the word INTERNET out completely.

Thanks again!!
