Over the years I have tried to include the information that JWL requests
and have been told NOT to include it.
I would be happy to include more complicated examples, BUT someone would
have to GIVE me the examples since I have never used my computer from
abroad nor with a credit card.
Joanne, do you think you could write up the more complex examples and send
them to me? My guess is that the phone card string from say a hotel would
be something like: 9,phone card access#,account#,617-679-4000.
The country code problem is more or less difficult. I mean I find calling
internationally ain't easy. How would you deal with it?
