;This script gets latest news summary (kindof) and sports scores.
;Unfortunately Compuserve (CIS) has the AP menus set up so that they
;change everytime new data is added. Therefore the menu selection to get
;the latest news at 5 am today won't be the same as you'd use to get the 5
;am news tommorrow. It seems like it wouldn't be that hard for them to
;add a consistent menu selection (like entering 0) that would give you the
;latest news summary (or sports info) no matter when you logged on. If
;you'd like to see CIS add such a menu choice let them know by entering
;"GO FEEDBACK" at any CIS menu.
