Hi Karen: As I remember, PodRacer was written by Lorenzo, who may still be on this list. If Ken were to install a pod catcher on Shellworld, you would still want to download the items every so many days. Some alternatives to going that root, would be exploring odeo dot com where you can search for podcasts-and-individually download them. Some years ago before a redesign, my yahoo was a great place for this, but as usual, they ruined it. Another place where I had good luck was www.miroguide.com However, since April the direct download links for the audio or video are displaying a jpeg instead. I have written them, but they seem confused about what changed. Some sites include direct downloads for podcasts, such as ABC-News, CNN, and CBS-News, but many such as Washington Post want you to use an rss reader. Since I have no idea about pod catchers in DOS, I cannot say, but managing the subscriptions locally may be better. Hope that provides some insite Hart
