I have done some preliminary work with Yahoo and MF products, but they aren't ready yet. Yes, your password does go through the BM program, there's no way for the BM task to pull down data from SI without it. However, all data gathered by the BM program stays on your local computer, there is no way to access it from the internet, and aside from configuration settings, it all disappears when the BM program terminates. Regards, Craig

>>Another question; when I have to type in my password, >>does that go through BrowseMaster or directly through SI? That is the unsolved mystery. Lets play devil's advocate for a moment. 1. You don't have to be a SI member to view messages. (no username, no password..) 2. If you want to post messages, you must be a member and login to SI. BrowseMaster is asking you to enter your username and password to VIEW messages. Why ? I can view messages WITHOUT logging into SI. Why does BM need this information ? This information is posted on the SI webpage SI non-member Home Page: techstocks.com SI member Home Page: talk.techstocks.com ************************************************** Maybe BM should have an option to access the NON-MEMBER SI URL. Food for thought. Pirate
