how 'bout posting the file on a webserver? I don't know how many
students you have but if you do not want to let everyone see that
someone else sent you a message then you could modifiy your script to
keep a seperate file for each student and let cron run it evry 10
minutes or so. Then all they would need is a web browser. if console
only class then teach 'em about lynx.
