Though I am "flying blind," as I have not used MicroDot, I
will make the leap that it functions in much the same way as
the newsgroups setup through AWeb. If I am correct, then
there is a button or area, you can click, that would be marked,
something like "Update." This would delete whatever is cur-
rently on screen, and present you with the next bunch. You
might even be able to do it for an entire list.
The trouble with this approach, is that you take the chance
that you will delete many messages you might have, otherwise,
wished to read. The advantage, is that you definitely know
that you are only dealing with the current messages -- those
being entered, after your deletions/updating.
Hope this was of some help.
Regards,
Julian.
P.S. I put myself on the MDII ml because I thought I would
end up using all of the packages make available through Vapor-
ware. It just turned out, I never got to try Microdot, but, I
have learned a lot from being on this list -- thank you, all.
