I noticed a recommendation in the installation advice to keep these in the same  folder.  Is there a reason for this advice?  I ask because it hads been my standard practice since my Amstrad PCW days to keep all data separate from programmes.  In my current installation with two physical hard disks, I have the operating system, prorgammes and data on separate partitions, with the data partition on the second hard disk.   Doing this simplifies backup for me (I use disk imaging software), and has saved me for major  disasters.  I would be loath to give up these practices. best  wishes

Thanks.  By the way what is the file name whose contents you copied to me.  it isn't pmail.ini, or at least it doesn't look like mine at all.
