Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Hi Lynda, Go to the URL for this egroup: achalasia On the left side of the web page, in the main section of the page you'll see a box that contains text links arranged vertically. The first link is " Home. " About 1/2 way through this list of text links is a link that says " Bookmarks. " If you click on that one, you'll see the links. Hope that helps - > Hi .

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi Lynda, I think I know why you can't click it. You have to be logged in to get into the link/bookmark area. Look toward the top (just above the blue header bar) right of the screen at achalasia and see if you find the log in link - if so, log in and I belive that will open up the closed options. > > > Hi .
