- Thanks. We're running 1.3 at the moment. As for using the last format I have
- shown, it works, but GOPHER doesn't receive a numeric address when you select a
- TELNET-type menu entry, which is why I wanted to know if there was a way to add
- code to GOPHER that would translate the thing, or perhaps force some extra goo
- onto the command line that GOPHER generates, that would solve the problem.
