I would like to second the comments of the other net-novices who are seeking
information. I saw the NAVigator announcement about an on-line instruction
program for e-mail users and signed up. The first lesson came with a message
that the program was not designed for the likes of VM users like me. I have
heard nothing since. The course promised to explain <ftp> and <telnet>.
I am still lost in the dark VM-woods.
At the risk of making a politically incorrect generalization, some of us
learn new systems by sitting down and reading the documentation >:-P
some of us learn by figuring out what we need to know to begin, then asking
questions as we find our limits...until we eventually understand the system.
I realize that the continuous feed of novices into the system leads to a
tedious need to keep repeating basics (to set NOMAIL, send your message to
LISTSERV) but these people, WE, are the future. Please be kind!
