Re opening the *.mim attachments for those with on aol:

They are simple text files. No special programs necessary!

This is not a big nor a complex problem. I just open a word 
processor program that will read text files, then open the *.mim file 
and read it. They are simple text files, and any word processor 
should work. WordPad works just fine, but most of the SCRoots 
files are too large for NotePad.  :-)

You will probably have to click on "all files" to view it in the 
selection window. The files can be found in the c:/aol*/download 
directory or folder. 

I also highlight & save to a text file anything I wish to reference 
later, give it a useful name, then delete the large file so I have 
the space on my hard drive. Or copy a query to an aol e-mail 
form for a later reply to that person. Some, however, may wish 
to save the whole file to have handy access to all of Steve's words 
of wisdom.    It is a simple matter to rename it and give it a
*.txt extension.
