In any case, I finally dialed in with my regular AOL screen name. Subscribers get up to six additional screen names, each with its own mailbox and password. As with AOL on computer, the master account holder manages parental controls. What I read reminded me why I usually steer clear of online chat rooms. Incidentally, AOL groups stations by category into 11 broad mini-guides.
Switching channels is agonizingly slow.
In the movie channel, you can view show times and order tickets. But again I ran into snags. This problem can occur with very large pages, sounds or movies. When I finally returned to the message, there was no way to edit it, other than to erase everything and start over. Worse, I could not change the TV channel and stick with the Web page I had on the screen.
