Yes, elm would definately be a step backwards. To access pine on the VMS system, type pine at the $ prompt. It is compatible with your current mail folders and will set up any additional files needed at startup. Once in it, press c to compose/send a message. To view mail, hit l to see the list of the folders. To exit, press q. All options should appear at the bottem of the screen. If you need any additional help, feel free to ask :) --micah John B Harlan ([log in to unmask]) wrote: : In article <1995May1.113802.44849@miavx1>, [log in to unmask] : wrote: : > I'd like to see ELM added to the Vax as a mail reader.
