Unfortunately, its not that simple.  Sending email with the sockets stuff
requires you to build the protocol.  Thats already being done, a free set of
handlers to do this stuff should be included in the 2.3 release.

Can someone give a hint of how to do this in 2.3? I guess it involves 
using the "sockets" features, but I'm baffled as to how to use these 
features at the client end for e-mail, ftp, or whatever.

Just a couple of lines of script to set me on my way would be greatly 
appreciated. Anyone?

Cheers

I if you can wait for the 2.3 release you'll be able to send email from
inside that.  (If your need is immediate, you can use the POST command to
post data to a CGI which comes back to you as an email.  If you contact me
off list I can supply a CGI URL if you don't have one and scripts to get you
going.)

You can use either the smtp protocol so that you get the data as E-mail or
the http protocol to have it sent to a server from which you can retrieve
it. For http you can use "post  to url". Smtp works too but it
is in alpha stage.

Monitoring learning

[Gregory Lypny]

Hi List Members,

 I'm developing some university courseware with MetaCard.  I'll be 
distributing it to my students, and the stacks will monitor their use of 
it (e.g., time spent per session, time spent per card, errors in 
answering questions and so on).  I want that usage information returned 
to me.  What's the best way to do it?

 Regards,

  Greg
