    Mike,

    Thanks for the update.
    I haven't tried the Web Portal or tried Telnet since I wrote that
    message to you.

    I've been on the computer but I never remembered to see if I could use
    the Portal or Telnet.

    Thanks to taking time to check things out and to reply to my message.
    Sounds like you've been busy too.

    As I always say:
    "Computers Alway Win Because They Have Inside Information"

    It was 30 years ago this month I bought a Commodore 64.

    That might sound like I ought to know a lot about computers, I don't,
    I'm still learning.

    I gave up on becoming Mr. Know-IT-All long ago.

    I don't know why, but it seems like every time I get a message from You, MultiMail DOS v0.49 won't let me see the messages in my Personal area.

    The packet your reply to me is in had 3 other messages to me in the
    WindowsA echo, and I could read them in that echo using MM DOS.

    The SBBSHelp echo isn't displayed in the MM Listing of echos that have
    messages in them when I opened the packet I got around 11:50 P.M.
    Wednesday 3-26-2014.

    I clicked L to show all echos and tried clicking on the Greyed Out
    SBBSHelp and General echos but nothing showed up when I clicked on them.

    There is always Someone or Something that keeps me humble.
    It's the XP computer and MM this time.

    If I remember I will try the Web Portal again, and I may even try
    Telnet again when I feel adventerous.

    Because I have been having troubles with MM opening my Personal
    messages, I am also going to put this message in the General echo to see
    if a Reply from You shows up in the General echo, in MM, when I open the
    packet your Reply is in.

    If you would, don't enter your reply in this SBBSHelp echo. Thanks!
