Paul, <<Still on PC-TASK because I can't figure out AutoPilot.>> First, talk to Betty Clay/SYSOP 76702,337 , there's all the help you'll ever need figuring out AutoPilot. Second, what version of PC-Task are you using. I have a registered version 1.12 and can't figure it out. I downloaded DOSCIM 2.23 and when I tried to run (or maybe I should say walk, or crawl, or stand still) it, the thing was sooooo sloooooow it's ridiculous, I mean when I hit the ALT key just to pull down a menu the hard drive comes on for 30 seconds (compuserve charges by the minute you know) so this is unacceptable. I also tried to install Quicken but it won't even run the install program. On another program whenever I go to enter my Setup information (you have to do this before you can even use the program) I type in several characters then all of a sudden the curser jumps back to the beginning of the text entry box and all the characters I had entered have disappeared. I never have gotten past that screen. So far the only thing I can do with it is use MSDOS to read and copy disks and transfer between the PC side to the Amiga side, which is cool because I don't have CrossDos so I needed something that would handle cross platform transfers anyway. Sorry to bog you down with my problem but I thought it was kinda ironic that you and I have the complete opposite problem. BTW my AutoPilot works fine, I highly recomend it. Paul C.
