Hello August!

There are times in life when one has to "grasp the nettle" ;-)

OK, so it's working but(there always has to be a but, doesn't there?) something 
weird is going on which is difficult to explain. Every message has a short 
string of HI-ASCII characters at the beginning of the line underneath the 
origin line. As SemPoint is a 16-Bit application, I'm wondering if it's case 
sensitive and if so, perhaps this could be causing the problem. Here's a 
directory listing of my "msgbase" directory:

=== end DIR.TXT ===

Notice the mixture of UPPER and lower case filenames.

BTW ..... my mouse scroll wheel doesn't work in SemPoint :(

Martin
