Hi,
I appreciate the response. Could you expand the question to include
Eudora please? Dragging a message off to the DT just creates a little
mini message file in Eudora. I recently downloaded a script called
"OEManytoWord. It is supposed to take all selected messages in OE and
archive them into a single Word document. I haven't tried doctoring
it yet but I am hopeful that I can change a few things and make it
work with Eudora and WordPerfect.
I want to keep my correspondence with my contacts attached to each
persons records. I am using Palm and I am still dabbling with
FileMaker. I assume that whatever solution I find can be changed
since all applications mentioned are very script friendly?
Thanks.
Dave Groover
I don't care if it's FIleMaker of Palm, though I am using Palm right now.

If I were you, I would try to see if I can get Entourage to do via
