I'm new to COMPUSERV. How can I download a file from one of the forums? The icons which would seem to relate to downloading/uploading are 'grayed'. What gives?

Darrell: You may have run into one of the strange quirks of CIS: if you are really new to CIS, you will be able up/download files only after 10 days have passed from your original logon. So that's the first issue. It would help to know what interface package you are using, just to make sure there isn't something else gone awry. Also, one other point: address your queries of this sort (in any forum) to "sysop" – without quotes, one word. I found this message only by accident. Best – Rich Bowers
