If you can get to a UNIX prompt, just type "nn" and see what happens. If not, try going to Netscape on the web, and looking for their newsgroups section. If still no success, try going to www.yahoo.com, and conducting a search using the word "usenet" (or "Usenet" or "USENET"). Are you at a college? Do they have geeks there? If you don't know where the geeks are offhand, go into the basement of the math department, find a soda machine where all the Diet Coke is sold out, and follow the cans and candy wrappers to their lair. If you approach quietly, you should be able to get a good look at them. When you come upon them, understand that they are not used to the sight of human females (except in JPG format) and may panic. If you can't find a geek lair, go to the computer lab. If the person at the door tells you that it is for CompSci only, tell him that you are just delivering a message. Ask where the X-terminals are. Once you find the x-terms, look for a screen with a Japanese animation still featuring a semi-nude female character as background and four windows open. Approach the geek directly and ask him specific questions, Understand that specific answers will not be forthcoming. Ask for basic steps and have the geek demonstrate. They love to demonstrate. Glean what you can. peace boddhisatva --- from list marxism-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
