Re: How to upload ? (IE 6.0 SP1)

Jon, I have a bad feeling this issue is going to die without being resolved.
I do not see "Documents" on the menu on page
http://www.msnusers.com/MyStorage.msnw. The menu contains "Groups Home", "My
Groups", "My Storage Info", "Browse by Interest". I'll bet the option isn't
there due to an oversight. Thanks for your help. I'll try contacting the
MSN people directly...or just have a beer and forget about it.
