Dear Mr. Dawas,
I've never really used programs in the View family, so I'm afraid I'm
unable to help you. However, I'll send a copy of this reply to the BBC
micro mailing list. If somebody there can help you, I'm sure they'll be
courteous enough to reply to you directly, though I strongly advice you
to subscribe to the list. More info is available at
http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/bbc/netresource.shtml#mail.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Robert Schmidt
