O.K. I Have Word Perfect 6.2 (and am waiting patiently for 7.0) in tandem
with Windows 95, I have many "save as" options and when I want to send an
attachment I save as ASCII(text), the problem seems to be that sometimes I
get it where I want it. For example my short essay on the universe and
Intelligence's role in it...everyone appears to have gotten that. I recently
attached a longer piece I wrote regarding This List and it's function. Alan
Bain liked it and suggested I send it to the list at alrge. I have tried to
do so, but I have no idea if anyone got it. Am I missing some step in the
process?

 Nick: Clearer than mud it surely was. Couple of questions: "Tree"? How
would I send such a thing to the list in general rather than specific
individuals?
