Bill, I went and downloaded your friendlyapps.zip. and I made a sub
folder, but I called it apps instead of friendlyapps because it is
shorter. Then I copied your friendlyapps.zip to the clipboard, then I went
in my apps folder, and pasted the file there, and then pressed enter on it,
let norton unzip it. I checked keep the folders, the friendlyapps.zip.
Now, I don't understand what is going on. When I go to that apps mailbox
folder, in eudora, all I see is new. However, when I go to dos, and go to
that folder, I see stuff in there. Why don't I find them inside of eudora?
