Hi Herb,
When you are logged into CompuServe and to a forum you open to mostly do this.
You are logged into the forum, this has to be done. Click on My Stuff, it will be available as you are logged in. Now save this page (My Stuff) to Favorites. Just click on the Favorites name in the Menu bar and click on, Add to Favorites.
Now or later after you log off CompuServe you can open Favorites, scroll down to the bottom of the list, Right click on the name that was saved, MS Internet Explorer-myforums or maybe it says mystuff.
Click on Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). A shortcut was added to the Desktop. Move it to where you want it to be on the Desktop. This is what you click on to open CompuServe and the My Stuff open at the forum you want to open to. But first the log-in screen appears. Just type the first letter of number of your screen name and the name in full will appear in a box below. Click on this name. Your password will automatically be added. Then click on OK and you will log onto CompuServe and the forum you have chosen to log into at My Stuff.
Mail you can get to when you log off of the forum and go to the CompuServe display, before closing CompuServe. Of you can after you are at your opened Mail account, do the same as above and save it to Favorites, then Send to the Desktop. The mail is at http://webmail.aol.com/
Hope this helps, let me know. Scott Evans
