John, >WOW, 50-70 taps per second!!! And Julia can do 85 taps per sec. It must be >something in the water in England!!! Sorry, nothing in the water here, just a lapse in my concentration - I meant per "10 secs". Thanks for the advice on Eudora from yourself and Don. I thought that there might be a problem with the old computer being on Windows 3.1 and the new one Windows 95 but will give it a try. Brian, I have some more comments on methods of evaluation and possible problems which will have to wait a little as Christmas duties have to take some priority. Will come back on it. Seasons greetings to all you good people, from Ernie & Julia. Ernie Peters <[log in to unmask]>
