Below is the reply I sent to someone else, slightly revised.. I hope it works for you.. Ellie ================================= << I am on AOL also.. Good idea... Go to the blue bar at the top of your screen and pull down "MY AOL" that you see.. The choices are then listed for you .... click SCREEN NAMES... You will then find the line that says CREATE a new screen name. You can then give yourself a new name... enter the information they ask for.. You then need to unsubscribe with the present name.. then sign off.. Go back in using your new screen name.. and re-subscribe to the MAUPIN list.. you should be in business.. >>
