My question is about html. I have juno so when my files come in they are
in a .frm file. They are text files but if I have used "source" instead
of "send" on a search I get it with all of the codes for it to be viewed
by an html viewer... right?
Well, now how to see it as an html since juno only lets you save things
as text and even if you did save it in another format when you view it
it just shows as text with all the codes in it... right?
So, how do you see it with all the colors, bold, italics etc... in
otherwords how do you convert it back?
I don't know if this makes any sense but I'm new and this is my first
attempt to ask a question :>0
**oThanks**

Leslie,

Your question is legitamate. But there really isn't a problem. HTML is just
text with 'codes' in it, and the codes are just text, too. (e.g. <BODY> is a
tag or 'code')It's not like a MS Word document format that you can only read
with the right program. Just save the file you get through juno, and rename it
to whatever.htm, if necessary. If you view the file with a text editor, it
will look like text with tags in it. If you view it with a browser, it will
appear the way the author intended. (Of course the 'links' won't work unless
you also have the documents the links are 'linked to, and the directory
structure matches.)

Thanks for your help I renamed it with htm looked at it through netscape
and it worked ... duh 8>Q

So, if I knew what the codes were to make something HTML I can write it
with wp60a save it in ascii and it would work...?
How do I find out the codes?
