Oh, thank you, Marck. I got so involved in being a "programmer" that I didn't even notice that. When I was patiently deleting all that "trash" manually, I did take it out. I don't need another bout with the harvesters. Changed my address last June I was getting so much spam. Knew better. Will go and "sin no more," and hope I don't get caught with any bad consequences. :) Cheers from long-winded, inattentive Mary, and -- Best regards, Mary The Bat!

I'm pretty new to TB and tbudl myself, so I will wait for one of the others to tell you. While you're waiting, go to http://www.donzeigler.com/phpbb2 It's a message board. Some of the more knowledgeable members of tbudl (this present mailing list) have put up a few ideas on getting started with The Bat! and you could also place this query on strategy for tbudl.
