 Opening MS Internet News or MS Internet Mail

I want to automatically logon to the Internet, gather my news and mail and
logoff.
Why doesn't the following command work?

Note:

intern~1.{89 is the MS DOS name for Internet Mail

Retval = Shell("D:\WINDOWS\intern~1.{89", 3)

I get an "illegal function call" error.

You should be able to shell to "start D:\WINDOWS\intern~1.{89". (I
haven't tried it, but I think it should work.)
