Hi friend,

I probably have web space.  I have a DSL account with AT&T.Yahoo.  
Anyway, I really don't want to interact with the general public, 
however, I though a site that worked more or less like a chat program 
would be good.  Or just a big blank page, where I could upload the 
larger doc's for view by the list, then remove them as they have served 
their purpose.  Was that your idea or someone else's.  Anyway, I got the 
project started, but haven't got it running yet.  This was a very good 
day for learning.  Thanks to you and all.
Steven
