without having to be answered from the public message areas.


2.  A new sub-menu has been added from the main menu. By typing
I (Information Menu), users can now view upto 10 text files stored
in the local DLX directory (INFO1 - INFO10).  Menu options are

3.  A new menu option has been added from within the Library Menus. By
typing I (Information), the file "INFO" is displayed.  Different "INFO"
files can be created for each library sub-section.  This enables
