Perhaps you're thinking of a form with a submit button which, when
selected, will query a db of some sort and present the list of files you
mention? (hint: Google for "HTML form," and perhaps research a db
program like MySQL.)

And, on this message, you did not trim the quoted part of the message
one bit, despite being told to do so, despite being given links which
explain how to post in usenet. Sorry, but I'm killfiling you. Perhaps
others more patient with your stubborn refusal to follow rules will
answer your questions in the future.

You can just make a page with a link to every file you want to provide for
download, so people can just click them (or right click and choose download
link link to disc).

Brian..
I think I get it...I solely depend on triple, double, single arrow keys for
my input. I did not realize that not only bottompost, but snipping is just
as important here. I will try to follow this newsgroup's ettiquette. I am
not refusing anything... I beg your pardon, it may be my reading problem.

Does this time look better? I will carefully read other postings. I may
learn this way better.

Not at all. (As you can see, you have not yet been killfiled.) If it's a
reading problem, does that mean that English is not your first language?
If so, what *is* your first language? Perhaps there are documents that
have been translated to help you get aquainted with Usenet.
Does this time look better?
Yes. If you not how most people here compose their messages, and follow
that model, you'll do fine.
I will carefully read other postings. I may learn this way better.

You will get more help if you appear willing to meet us half-way, if you
understand what that means. :-)

Brian,
First, I am totally deaf.. I use ASL (American Sign Language).

But I do read English well.

I can get an Video Relay interpreter for us only if you give me phone
number. I will call you through this service. But I think you prefer not to
do this way for safety's sake or heaven's sake..

I dont understand what killfiled means.
Perhaps, you have to babytalk to me until I understand what killfiled, and
the like. I am sorry for the trouble.

Best/Regards,
alan

Of course not. Well, unless you're willing to pay me as a consultant to

It means soon I will configure my newsreader to ignore all posts from
you because I can't be bothered to fix your top-posts and otherwise hold
your hand. You have a computer; you can access Usenet; that means you
can use Google, read posts, and follow the rules.

No. You will have to help yourself ("...meet us halfway.")

I am wondering myself, too. I always find people ahead of me!
Am I still top posting? I know right there, I know I reply under your

replying under related quotes. In this case, I know it!

Of course not, I am not going to pay you for telephone support, but perhaps
as a consultant. I am paying Video Relay service for phone support instead.
It is them who provide communications support!

Am I still replying under your related quotes? I think by now you may have
to killfile me if I am still confused. Am I replying in the right places so
far?
I think I do. Tell me there, if you cannot do this. Killfile me..

I dont understand what killfiled means.

Yes, I understand what killfile means now. If I am still not making
progress in replying in right places, you should killfile me. Always
follow Goggle's rules, read post etc because they never mention top posting.
Perhaps, I am wrong again. Hopefully, I am gaining ground. Am I still
replying under related quotes?

Perhaps, you have to babytalk to me until I understand what
killfiled, and the like.

No. You will have to help yourself ("...meet us halfway.")

I am trying. Am I meeting you halfway this time?
By now, I think I understand so far where to post replies like this under
related quotes. But re: snippeting; I can snippet just some of it, but not
too much of it to keep ideas in context, but try to make replies under
related quotes.
Hope I will not get another bomb letter tomorrow am.

just a stab in the dark, but the following may work...

if not something along those lines.............
