Hi Jean,

I had Johan, my eldest GS here over the weekend, but after he returned to
Stockholm, he works there, I've been working on Opera and my e-mail prg.
First of all, I found the menu at the upper left corner. It didn't have
exactly the choices you suggested, but by cut-and-error I got some things
done.
I got rid of the search-engine icons from the opening screen and put in a
couple of favourite sites instead, and now I can set the address where I
want to go, without interference by Google.
If I want to use Google, I just use the 'g' command to call it up.
On friday I checked with the ISP I used B4, if my previous (resting),
account was still available, and it is. Since the same mail program I
used under OS/2, now is available (PMMail) for Windows too, and all the
files are compatible between the versions, I've been copying them to
Win10 too.
It was quite easy too, since I had made backups of everything on a couple
of diskettes, when the ISP ceased POTS support, three and a half year
ago.
But the names of the mail accounts have changed, so I want to know if the
old names of my configuration still work, and also If I have to make any
configurations in Windows setup, as we had to do in earlier Win versions.
