Re: Using your GS here!

[tws <adoyson@nccn.net>]

The Mailbox                       POP3/SMTP E-mail client
Newstand*                         News reader
The File Cabinet*                ftp client


Those names sound good to me, Jeff.   Will *your* Email program be its own
application, or a script that works within Spectrum?

Will it be compatible with program Switchers like SwitchIt!?
