folks,
its a pleasure to read your exchanges. My pleasure would be enhanced if I
could figure out how to read your HTML coding. All that flows down my
Microsoft Outlook Express screen is a streams of HTML coding that I cant
read. I present an sample;

"    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dwindows-1252" =
http-equiv=3DContent-Type><!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 =
transitional//en">
<META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT size=3D2>Ken</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3D2>Are you sure this isn't because you have a cash =
account=20
instead of a margin account?&nbsp; Proceeds from trading in cash =
accounts cannot=20
be used until the next day.&nbsp; Proceeds from margin accounts can be =  "

since no else seems to complain, maybe there is some setting that has to be
enabled. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.
