Welcome to the real world, where information is king and those who hold it, tend to guard it like thieves. You might also consider building your knowledge base, so the seemingly cryptic instructions make more sense.

I set up all my directories, have read approx all 50 pages of the how-to & help pages, and I still can't figure out how this program "works" let alone how to "use" it. I can't figure out where to compose the text body, where to save it to, what to call it, how to send it, etc etc etc etc....... Is there a place that offers instructions for the "instructions"??? It appears that all the text support is geared to those who really don't need it. Any help would greatly be appreciated. lc
