Thanks also, Karl. Downloading.... WebTV can't cope with a 'real
computer' for all the obvious reasons. I wasn't intending to connect
my new toy to the Internet. Among other things, WebTV has no disk and
therefore it is immune to viruses, which is nice.

....but the pressure is beginning to mount already....

(Tonight I noticed that word uses 46kb to store an ASCII file that is
500 characters long. Sheesh! I can't begin to explain how _painful_
that is to an ex-programmer who used to spend the midnight hours saving
50 bytes here and 16 cycles there....)
