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 -- Geraldine Jones & The Elder Three /\ /\ Email: we9...@victoria.tc.ca ( 0 0 ) Web Page: http://www.victoria.tc.ca/~we993/ = Y =

You wouldn't be so rushed and you would be able to explore your creativity better that way. If you are using WIN95, NOTEPAD works well, if you have some other system, read the FAQ for this newsgroup, it will tell you the best programs to use with your operating system. -- .-~~-.

Why don't you do what most of us do, and make them in a text editor (notepad, or an e-mail program) and thn cut and paste them when you want to post? MUCH easier, and you can take as long as you like. :) -- Hayley Jane Wakenshaw: flu...@quadrant.xs4all.nl -=-Flump's Ascii Collection-=- http://www.xs4all.nl/~klr _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __(.)> __(.)< __(.)= __(.)> __(.)< __(.)= __(.)> __(.)< __(.)= \___) \___) \___) \___) \___) \___) \___) \___) \___) "Faith means not wanting to know what's true" - Nietsche

AFAIK, the Victoria Freenet uses the same software as the Vancouver Freenet which I used to use (look for posts on dejanews from val...@vcn.bc.ca and kor...@vcn.bc.ca:), and the local Prince George Freenet now also uses that software... the mail program should have an option to upload a text file as your message. And/or, a good terminal program should have the option to send a text file (upload using "ascii") - it'll just stuff a text file into the modem buffer and let the freenet sort it out. <G> Either one usually works pretty good. On the old PG Freenet software, there was also another option. A "line editor" of sorts. This was the best place to do an ASCII send of a text file, as it took raw input, and could handle blank lines- it was terminated by you typing an @ on a blank line at the end. If you can't find anything like what I've mentioned, ask one of the system volunteers. -- _ _ ___ _ ___ _ _ ___ | | / o | |_| o ) | |_ -| v a l d u s @ ICQ: 7107014 \_/|_|_|___|__/|___|___| bcgroup . net Hilton Janfield
