* OT * Exactly. The coolest part about having it in pure news form is you can then use any newsreader to access it. The client is not limited to a single-click-through-them-all, and can have the items threaded for better readability. The only problem is access. I don't know if newsgroups can be set up to have password protection. Really cool to hear about Eric's program, though -- rather than changing the system, just write something that works around the system. Bravo! Only problem is if they change their format. I thought about doing the same thing through my Lombard (now Discover) account, so I could write a program to have "streaming" real-time quotes (they'd be delayed a little, because it would have to retrieve just one quote at a time, average of 5-10 seconds per page). But the streaming level 2 quote systems are cheap these days. ;-) Cheers, KenB
