Hi Anne, Sorry about the confusion.What I did was post the message (in the Take 5/want ads section I think).In the Subject field of Create Forum Message I typed forum advertising.Later, I was using Browse in the WinCim Messages menu,just looking at nothing in particular,but I didn`t see my message.Lots of other subjects but no forum advertising.When I used Search from the same menu and typed forum advertising in the Subject field up came my message. I`ve just had another look but couldn`t see it only this time when I used the Search command the `No files found` window came up.I must be doing something wrong….again! BTW I`ve uploaded mumgif.zip again.I`ve used another pkzip command line which worked fine without passwords on my PC. Anyway,I hope I`ve made myself a bit clearer. You`re a Saviour! Steve Bradley.

Steven – Your message is there and I have just answered it. No idea why you had problems seeing your own message. You won't get the same messages over and over again every time you log on. To see older messages you have to set you r date back under Messages, Set Date (if using Wincim). There is a FREE practice section under Basic Services for WINCIM Support where you might want to take a look at the finer points. I'll also watch for your MUMGIF.ZIP file. Anne

Steve, PMJI, when using WINCIM you could do a MESSAGE/FRESHEN MESSAGES, once you've entered a forum, to see your newly posted messages. Paul

Paul, Many thanks.Laziness and impatience determined that I skipped going to the practice forum when I joined Compuserve so a lot of commands I never get around to using until somebody points them out(isn`t that always the way with software?) Steve.

<<< … lot of commands I never get around to using until somebody points them out(isn`t that always the way with software?) >>> Yep, that's how I learned. Paul
