I did that. You mean uncheck the receive box, and it wasn't
downloaded. But what is the difference between Read and Open?

No Tom, delete is unchecked by default. I should have used
shift+ctrl+F2 instead of ctrl+F2 to see all of them, rather than just
the new ones. (Account | Dispatch mail). It was probably still there
but TB didn't consider it new at that point. I noticed this after I
wrote to the list, because I continued to have trouble downloading
with this gd telmex (prodigy) connection.
They have done a great job getting people to buy computers and on the
net by offering an Acer Celeron for 50$us down and 50$us more a month
for 2 years. Now they have 120 modems answering calls (with the parent
company charges for - right, they charge a flat rate for local calls)
here in this not so big city, but no enough band width to handle it.
Anyway, I'm trying out another ISP and so far so good.

You have but once again the options are: Read, Receive, Delete and
Open. Read and Delete seem to be pretty clear options, but what is the
difference between Read and Open?

OK I'll do it but I doubt they're the same.
Standard Spanish German Spanish
Ctrl-[ Does nothing Ctrl-� Not applicable
(no � key)
Ctrl-] Make 1st letter upper case Ctrl-� Does nothing
Ctrl-/ Does nothing Ctrl-# Does nothing
Nothing new turned up.

Yes - it is different.

If you say so. On my other U.S. bought machine (not here), I made
little stickers for my keys and toggled back and forth between English
and Spanish keyboards, which win95b will let you do (don't know about
win95a).
To make those stickers I simply typed out a key at a time and took
note of the difference. That could do it, if and when I can set this
OS to toggle to a US keyboard situation, since the US layout is
considered standard, evidently.
