Boy, wouldn't I love to be able to do that!  But,  I do not have ANY tools
to work with at all...just this old Commodore, my keyboard and *some*
patience.  I post through Victoria Freenet...using my work account...which
regular staff (at the library) receives free, through the library.  I
can not afford to trade up to a more sophisticated computer, so just work
with what I have.  

I do have New Deal Office 98 in the hard-drive.  I'll have to ask my
friend if I could do ascii in "Newwrite", save to floppy, and
download..might work.  Will keep you posted..gj
