This article focuses on manual CompuServe access. In the next issue of The HP Palmtop Paper we will take a closer look at a program for the 95LX, called MESSAGE, that automates access to the CompuServe Forums and Cmail.

If you want to begin using an automated program, here is where you can find them;

MESSAGE -- is available in the HP 95LX Palmtop Library (14) on the HP Systems Forum (GO HPSYS). This program is written specifically for the HP 95LX. Download MESSG.ZIP **.
