StartPMMail.CMD - a REXX script that hides all but one PMMail account at
                  PMMail startup

Program Description
-------------------

If you have more than one PMMail account as a result of multiple users,
or seperate ISPs/mailfeeds, this script will hide all but one of the
accounts from view.
This action can be overridden so PMMail starts like normal.

Program Requirements
--------------------

 1.0 OS/2 with REXX installed

 2.0 PMMail with one or more accounts already created

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

 1.0 place the StartPMMail.CMD file into your \SOUTHSDE\PMMAIL directory
     or whatever directory contains the PMMAIL.EXE file

 2.0 if you are running PMMail on a FAT partition, then you will have to
     edit the StartPMMail.CMD file and change any reference to filenames
     that don't follow the 8.3 naming convention required by FAT

 3.0 either

 3.2 start the script from the commandline like so:
    
     [C:\SOUTHSDE\PMMAIL]StartPMMail AccountName OtherParameter(s)

     - where AccountName is the account name as it is setup under 
       Account-->Account Settings-->General-->Description
       NOTE: if your account name has spaces in it, replace them
             with '_' characters
             ie. 'My Account' becomes 'My_Account'
     
     - to start PMMail with all accounts showing, enter the account
       name of 'ALL'
       ie. StartPMMail ALL

     - where OtherParameter(s) are any parameters you want passed along
       to PMMail ie. /F
      
 3.4 create a program object on the Desktop that points to the script file
     and be sure to set the working directory to the \SOUTHSDE\PMMAIL\
     directory, and set the optional parameters to the name of the account
     you want to have open upon startup of PMMail
  
     - once again, if the account name has spaces in it, replace them with
       '_' characters

How It Works
------------

PMMail uses directories to represent accounts and folders. Using this
handy tidbit, I decided to try starting PMMail after dragging and dropping
one of my two accounts to a different folder. Upon starting PMmail I was
happy to see things did'nt crash and the account I left in place was
working like a charm. At this point I started writing up the script to do
the automated directory move operation, but soon discovered that REXX
and CMD.EXE dont seem to support a move operation on a directory and
subsequent subdirectories. Then it hit me, if I were to just set the
Hidden attribute on one of my account directories it might do the same
yet easier job. Well obviously it worked thanks to Bob and Ike's forethought!

Comments
--------

I'm not responsible if this program is the cause of any damage to your data
or machine. It has been tested only by me, and works here without problems.
Use it at your own risk. It is freeware and you may alter it in any manner 
you choose as long as you change the archive name upon distribution.

Troubleshooting / Uninstalling
------------------------------

If you all of a sudden loose one or more of your accounts after running the
script, or wish to discontinue using the script do the following:

 1.0 start StartPMMail.CMD with the commandline parameter 'ALL'
     ie. [C:\SOUTHSDE\PMMAIL]StartPMmail ALL

 2.0 easy!
