Robert, thanks for this recommendation. Will try Rexx Regina.I would add my even-more-basic Rexx GETMAIL|SENDMAIL cmd scripts, which I run right out of XyWrite. I use them both heavily in a news service that I run, because they're totally adjustable (and open source -- if you don't like the way they work, you just change them). And all you really need to run them is Regina Rexx, which is tiny.Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx
