Ohyeah, that would work. Newt FTP is pretty good -- a bit slow but for=20=
text it shouldn't matter much. I have FTPd text notes from Newton to a=20=
Unix computer and that worked out fine.

Good point -- I hadn't thought of that. I'm not an expert on Newton PDS=20=
(the Web server software) but as I recall it's pretty easy to set one=20
of your Notes folders as the default shared folder and then anything=20
filed in there will be served via HTTP. You could browse the Newt with=20=
a desktop browser and copy/paste the text you were after.
Sounds like there are in fact some good options for you. Let us know=20
which one works out the best for your needs.
