A lot of AOL users are unaware that there is an even *faster* way
provided by AOL to upload and download email and news, called
FlashSessions.  FlashSessions may be set up to automatically logon to AOL
at any time you desire, download your email (with or without attachments)
to any directory or folder that you desire, then logoff! I have been
using AOL in this manner for years, with only a few minutes of usage
'on the clock' per month.

To configure FlashSessions, poke MAIL|SET UP FLASHSESSIONS and follow
the directions.  To manually activate a FlashSession, poke MAIL|ACTIVATE
FLASHSESSION NOW.  You can choose to remain online after your email has
been uploaded/downloaded.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to write to
me directly.  Cheers.
