I just found out that RBDOS 7.5 and up, now has the LAUNCH command. I've been using ZIP but that does not return to RBASE until you close the called program. LAUNCH returns right away. If there is an email solution you could call with LAUNCH, that would be a solution, albeit not as elegant as RMail.
