levy I too, am an AOL member. Hate it. Am looking into new ISP, but I am holding out for Charter cable. I have Charter for cable now but the lines are not in place for internet connection. ~Sarkie

I keep finding reasons to get rid of AOL... There are so many reasons. <g> If you have a one-button mouse, I assume that means you use a Mac (since PCs have never been sold with a one-button mouse). Is that right? If so and if you use either Netscape or the real version of IE (rather than the built-in AOL version), you can open a new window from a link by clicking on it and holding the mouse button down or by holding the Control key and clicking the link. That opens a menu that includes an option to open the link in a new window. (This works in OS 8.x and I think in later versions of 7.x.)

Dan regarding my question about easier way to do pms....I do not see any way to use my browser AOL (I think thats what you mean) to open the private message link...also I have one button on my mouse so no chance on hitting a middle button...I keep finding reasons to get rid of AOL...I wonder if I can do this on AOL version of netscape...where does the private message link window show up in your unix netscape?..perhaps same on mine or any ideas about where to find this on aol browser Excuse me if I'm a bit out of it today. If I remember what I was talking about, the name of the poster is a link to a personal-profile page, and that page has a "Send a Private Message" link at the top. Traverse the poster-name link using your browser's "Open In New Window" command (typically (i.e., on Windows, with either Netscape or MSIE) right-click on the link to get a pop-up menu, and then select the menu command named something like "Open link in a new window"). That will open a new window displaying the profile of the user. Then click normally on the "Send a Private Message" link in the upper right. (Note, I'm looking at the old-style SI, so links might be different for you if you're using the new SI.) Daniel
