I'm marking them as read.  The reason I asked is because if I don't
occassionally "Remove Messages" in OE which I still use for text and
single part binaries it gets clogged up.  I don't know what "dir" is,
I will assume it means directory.  I have the .exe and required .dll
in my hard drive and just double click it to start Pan.  Do I ever
need to clear the cache in Pan?
