Hi! Often I have to select some files for deleting, copying, printing etc. I use Win 98 and click My Computer or Explorer to get to the directory I want and then select the files. Is there a way by which I can select say all "*.doc" files instead of clicking them individually holding the CTRL button down ? There is an option for selecting all files but none for say "Select by..." Any help would be appreciated. Reply on: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks in advance !

PPP is chosen above SLIP due to its *robustness*, as it is based on good ol' HDLC, rather than SLIP, which simply framed IP datagrams.

Lot's of servers don't appear in the stats. However, when I receive a note from a site that shows something like this: "WARNING! We are going to terminate this service (gopher and gophermail). If you are unhappy about it, please drop me a message. We can try to find an alternative solution for you and also there's always a chance we change our decision. Thank you. Jan Hrdonka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" I take it at face value that the service is going to be terminated. Especially after I send mail to Jan and don't receive an answer!!! Also, you must remember that the stats are generated by retrieving a help file, not actually using the server to perform a search or file retrieval. Several servers will send a help file but don't actually work!!! Do you still believe that [EMAIL PROTECTED] works? It will answer a help file request. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 12:17:44 -0800 From: "Gerald E.

If you use the rely function of your mail program to save the URL that it is in the subject line, you can just places the numbers in the body of a message like: To: agora server Subject: Re: <URL sent to you> Body of message 2 3 7 Better yet, is to just send a new request using the actual URLs from the reference section like: To: agora server Subject: [leave blank] Body of the message send [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 12:34:13 PST From: "Jerel D.

Then click in a blank area of the window next to the first or last file in the group. Then drag the rubber band box around the files you want to select. And I started using Windows only in December 1998. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 14:26:23 -0800 From: "Gerald E.
