I simply save the information as a text file and store it on my hard drive. I have a special folder which is used exclusively for this purpose. Text files can be opened and read using any word processor. I use ClarisWorks but many others can be used. I use a Mac but I am sure there is a similar method for Windows 95 machines. If you want to get really fancy, you could set up a database which indexes your quotes but this would seem to be a bit more than is usually needed. Helen Helen Edwards, Victoria, B.C.
