Scott,

I understand the logic and have set up a file 'getweather.bat' just as you
recommended, however, it still leaves me hanging at the end.

I get a Dos box opens, says

'retrieveing report for 45245'
'===BEGIN WPDL==='
'Opening internet...Done'
'===END WPDL==='

'script complete...'

Then title bar changes from 'wpdl' to 'finished - Getweather'

Then it stops and I'm still connected.

I copied your script exactly using lmemail.bat
Any ideas?

Tom
