- ;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.
