assistant: Your message is off-topic in this echo, which relates to the {Commo} comms

You could, of course, get it ON topic by switching from PCAnywhere to

There are several BBSs that carry {COMMO}-related files.  Mine's one of
them.  You can get version 6.5, along with a fairly good selection of
macro files, etc., by calling my BBS at:  520-290-2807 (Tucson AZ).  Log
in using the following information:
        First & Last Name:  Commo Release
        Password:           guest
That will bring up a list of available files.  You can pick the ones you
want to d/l (including version 6.5).  You will be automatically
disconnected after the file transfer is complete.  No fuss..no muss..

   Hi colin.  The origional dialing directory contains all of the commo
support bbs systems.  However, you can call Charlie's foxhole here in
Lansing, and the number is 1 (517) 323-3405.  When you get the login
prompt, you can  just type commo and press enter, and commo65.zip will be
transferred to your machine.  Jeff always has the latest beta or full

Hi Commo Friends,
I have some quesitons about the {auto} macro function. The docs say that
up to 16 {auto} strings can be defined. Is this in addition to
SSLOOKS/CALOOKS/GOLOOKS/LOOKFORs? I think so.
If you have the startup string defined in the commo.set file using
{aut=...} what would happen if you re-define it with {auto}? Is this seen
as a new entry or is it replaced from the one seen in the setup file?
If I do the command {auto} does it clear out all strings even those
defined in the setup file?
Now, why do you think I am asking this? JB Learn wants more power, 32
SSLOOKS!!!!!!!!! <GRIN>....
