We can't use .plan files at my site since the mail machine is separate from those holding our unix accounts. However, I think you just need to rename the vt file into ".plan" using: unix% mv animation.vt .plan If you want to keep bits of the old .plan and have the animation before it or afterwards, then try unix% mv .plan temp.plan unix% cat animation.vt temp.plan > .plan unix% rm temp.plan Which puts the animation first. > >While we're at it, can these be sent in a mail message? They can, but those I've tried (sending them to myself) need you to press space in my mail reader because it waits at the end of every screenful. What I can do, though, is to press space a number of times and it works fine except the scrambled "-More-" messages on the left of the screen. >Actually I expect that the answer to all of these questions is no, but >I'm hoping somebody will prove me wrong....
