I'd like to note that some of us do not exactly have very consitant web
access depending on where we are comming from, and earlier today, when I
tried to download the pdf version of the manual, I got very stalled after
about 50k (or 20k on some attempts) and frankly, a lynx connection is much
faster for me to use to look at very large files. Additionally, I get the
proper margins from the text version of the manual which I can print and
expect to appear properly on printed paper from my graphically impaired
lynx browser. Strange things tend to happen with margins when I try and
print from within Netscape.
No, L-Soft doesn't need to kill some trees, but I do know that whenever I
have a question regarding a procedure relating to list management, I can
find it in the manual much faster than I can type up a query to this list
on most occasions.
