That's 'cause my e-mailer has a bug and alters the first character of anything 
going out 
and anything coming in.  I don't know why but since IBM canned support for it, 
it ain't 
going to change now but that's why I start all my messages on the second line 
(so 
UltiMail/2 can do what it likes with the first line).  Now if it repeated the 
first 
character rather than randomly generating one, I could pretend that it was 
attempting to 
use raised initials (a different sort of 'cocked-up' from the bug  :).

Keeping on topic:
With regard to the parameter passing -- fine, I leave it in your capable hands. 
 The 
current situation is more annoying than a show stopper so I can live with it.  
I have 
other things to beat IBM up about.  The compiler writers are way, way down the 
list.  
However, the NetServer group -- now those %$&^**( are right at the top, in 
capitals, with 
exclamation marks.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
