?? I've got a batch file that runs VSoup. There is an icon on the
desktop for it. I hit "v", Enter, and a DOS window opens and VSoup
gets and sends (these can be separate functions, of course) my mail.
Win95 dials and logs in automatically. This could be done automatically
at intervals with System Agent or other chron program.

After VSoup is finished the batch file starts Yarn.

No mouse clicks required, just two keystrokes to start the process.

There is also an icon for a small batch file that starts Yarn. Same
deal, hit "r", then Enter, and a DOS window opens and a choice of
modes to start Yarn in is offered. Select one and Yarn starts.
When Yarn is exited the DOS window automatically closes.

HTH,
