Try putting a GET NET MESSAGE immediately after the 'do'.

Also, don't forget that the INPUT command effectively freezes your program, so any new messages will not show on your receiving machine unless you hit the enter key.

Do I get flamed if I say "bump" here?



I have no expirence with IP code, and cant get it to work on my own.
Having a modem connection, Its also tricky to keep sending code to a friend to test it.
(gets boring after the 4th re-compile)
