Thanks.  I'll try that just as soon as I figure out how to edit
autoexec.bat, wherever it is ...if I actually have it.  I know I used to
have it on the old WFWG 3.1 system, but then there were lots of things I
could do on that old machine that I can't with this Win98, like Edit and
Sort.

 * OLX 2.1 * CONGRESS.SYS corrupted! reformat WASH.DC <Y/Y>?

Later...  After poking around in Help I found the Sysedit command, but
the autoexec.bat file had only one line of code (for the sound card).
Since I wasn't absolutely sure about all the details of coding a Path
statement, I decided to first try putting a copy of Pkzip/unzip right in
the c: root directory.  That worked after explicitly coding the full
path in the two mmail.rc lines.  Seems like it should have worked with
the Pkzip/unzip programs located anywhere, so long as the full path was
coded in mmail.rc.  Now both the Windows and DOS versions of MMail seem
to work, although the Windows version has a very slight pause whenever
a new function is requested, but the DOS version is as zippy as OLX.

It will take a bit of getting used to the new commands, and I really
miss being able to toggle back and forth between a message and its
reply.  After saving and looking at this reply I see I will also need to
use something other than this MS editor.  :(

Thanks again for the suggestion.
