Hi Dale: You need AOL 2.0 software for the PC to get the "Flashsession" feature. You can download this version or just notify AOL that you want version 2.0. If you have a MAC it is version 2.xx, close but not the same number. If you have version 2.0 for the PC, look at the menu under MAIL. This is where flashsessions are defined. With this feature, my system dials, connects, uploads and sends mail that I have generated off-line and downloads all mail waiting for me. It then disconnects. I then will read my mail and respond to messages at my leasure while not connected to AOL. When I have completed, I will activate a flashsession that connects, uploads and sends my newly generated mail and disconnects. Regards, Alan Bonander ([log in to unmask])
