Hi Lita: The Internet address given in the subject message is in black, but AOL apparently adds the color blue: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt">ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt</A> I just checked the above address and it works. For some unknown reason, during the transmission, extra data is being added to both ends of the address. The first words are: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.roots">ftp://ftp.roots</A>web...... It ends with: .... .txt The underlining is being added by AOL and I don't know why. LCT stands for Lincoln County, TN. Hope this helps for you and others that may be interested. Tom King, Sr.
