Art, Nothing like that….yet. You can do that now. Use the macros, and login, go to the forum, then open a buffer. Send a RTN (or however you read messages) and when you get the function-prompt, or menu, close buffer, logoff. Save the buffer, and then use either ED or something similiar. (check out KEEP.ARC, dl-4 to read messages) I used to have a nice setup that used KEEP to go through the ones I wanted to answer, then UEDIT to display/answer them. You can get away with using ED (two of them, as the Ami does multitask) One show, and one to type in. To send, edit using your favorite editor, then make a mini-script re <message number> Hi! /ex re <next message> You too! /ex Just dump that file at the forum prompt. It may look like World War II is breaking out, but it works. Hope this helps, Doug
