Martin is entirely correct about this piece of software. It weighs in
at just barely over 1MB for the WIN95 Ver.. If you are a Netscape or
Internet Explorer user the Bookmarks/Favorites function is a bit
different. Make sure you read the keyboard shortcut help section
thoroughly or you'll go crazy using the "Hot List" function. Editing
existing bookmarks is impossible unless you thoroughly read the
keyboard shortcut page. The keyboard sequence for accessing this is
Alt+Enter. Opera is also tracking friendly.
The keyboard shortcut page is accessible doing a control+B. Memorize
it.
If you are looking for an extremely functional newsgroup and email
client take a look at Forte's Agent:
http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.htm
The program is extremely keyboard/tracking friendly therefore
extremely macro friendly. It's got large composition and message
reading windows which are easily scalable. The software has only
crashed once in six months of heavy use. There is a freeware version
which doesn't have inbound email capabilities but will give you a good
example of how friendly this software is.
One note of caution. Should you decide to purchase this software,
purchase the electronic version. The company has an extremely good
track record for producing frequent/quality software updates but not
at producing hard copy manuals.
