Yes I cheated twice: first as documented, then second, removing the &X=, and &Y= (my userid@node). I use a cookie in my browser so that might explain why it works nicely. Archives (notebooks) by default take on the characteristic of the SEND= parameter. If that doesn't match what you want to do, then you need to "override" that default behaviour w/ an explicit NOTEBOOK= subparameter. SEND= PRIVATE would default to a PRIVATE archive. Thus, you would need to specify the proper PUBLIC subparm of NOTEBOOK= to provide the service that you want. /Pete At 18:25 07/24/2002 Wednesday, Ahern, Shannon wrote: >Thanks Pete! > >So, here is the reply I got from my technical staff fellow, although I >notice that *your* samples below do NOT include your login info.
