<<I've never tried to send an attachment to an email. Ish knows how, he's sent me some. >> What I've been doing is forwarding ones sent to me. I used to send them when I had the regular Windows '95. I think you make a file and store it in C drive, type your message and then attach the file.

I'm not going to "the" party, I'm just going to a small dinner party. It's on the 14th floor, and the elevator will be shut down from 11:45 until 12:30. Here are the instructions I just wrote to the person who has to send me something as an attachment. The Help menu on my Netscape was incomprehensible, useful only for calling to my attention the existence of the Attach button. I had to figure it out by trial and error. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW TO TRANSMIT A DISK AS AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT 1. On Netscape Communicator, bring up empty email form just as though you were writing an ordinary email. 2. Fill in the "To:" address line and the "Subject" line. 3. Insert the disk you want to transmit into the correct slot. 4. Now note that the top of the email has buttons for Send, Quote, Address, Attach, Save, Security, and Stop. 5. Click Attach... file 6. Do not worry that for some incomprehensible reason the addressee disappears. The computer knows it was there. 7. Into the "Look in" slot, bring up 3 1/2 floppy A (or whatever is correct; maybe it's not a floppy disk you're transmitting.) 8. You will see names of what is on the disk appear in the window. Highlight the one you wish to send as an attachment, and you will see its name appear in the "File name" slot. 9. Click "Open" and that file name appears on the line in your email where the addressee usually is. Do not worry. 10.Click Send. You will see that it takes ages for the msg to finish transmitting. This shows it's working. 11.I don't know how to send more than one item that is on the disk (see number 8) at the same time. I have to do them one at a time. 12.Remove the disk, put it away.
