What is a datagram, what is a socket, how or why to use datagramm. i tried to build a ftp. Well after a lot of searching in rfc and the help of kevin i got to the point where to use the items. The definition of socket is after reading some rfc clear to me. Fo datagram is still not fully understood. Well a sentence for more explanation would help. Alos the place to go to to get to valuabe internet rfc would be good too. 2) write....with "message" What all this message is, was not quick understanding. How variable are passed by the use of message is not very clear. And message, what is that? handlers? Well some good examples here would be best. 3) example You might forget to add enough examples to help one to visualise all what is about. 4) search for group We got the answer of using group. There is no link to "owner" which is very close. No indication about how to get the group's objects list. 5) Editing and printing dictionary The dictionary is a closed application not an open stack, which would be more usable. a) Seems to be no way to edit the dictionary to add own notice or to search withi the text using the msg. b) There is also no way to print. That's not critics to you. I just answer your request, showing where I got at first trouble. (I would be much more critical about the development environment palettes) Thanks Jean-Jacques Wagner > > From: "Jeanne A. E.
