WHAT difficult e-mail?

[Bill S]

Rich; 

Let me give it a quick try:

UNIX is an operating system that tells the computor how to perform basic
functions like recognizing the keyboard and the screen as well as running
programs such as the various kinds of e-mail, web browsers, word
processers etc. DOS is also an operating system(of sorts) as is MS-
Windows.

E-mail programs such as Pine, Eudora, Outlook and Freeport are programs
that run on an operating system to perform a function, in this case
e-mail.

You can run graphic e-mail programs on UNIX as well as on MS-Windows. What
we are trying to talk about is use of a graphic capable connection to SCN.
That is an Internet protocol called PPP (or alternatively SLIP).

If this doesn't quite make it clear maybe somebody else can give it a try.
