One of the advantages of the Intranet is that the apps link together so
each provide links to each other. In theory remembering port numbers
isn't necessary now. Trouble is you have get on to the intranet in the
first place.  In do intend to do a little app for this purpose.

Yep, the file is read top to bottom and can contain any number of messages.

Only the settings.txt file is read at startup. All others, the 5 tosend
files, the address book and contents of the mdbs are all read on the
fly.  ALso the settings file is re-written any time any config item is
changed so if you want to edit that file make sure you save it after xSB
is closed.
