Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your advice.

I would like to have a = system with which I can send letters to people in my database.

It would be nice to be = able to make selections according to labels (probably with xmlatt), but = that can be done later.

I am not a programmer - when I read the documentation, I do = not understand enough of it to the extent to port it to a new program, = but I can adapt and try existing code.

Thusfar I have been trying to use the = letter module with the xmltext and xmlflush commands. What can be done = to make this work?

Thanks!

Robert
