Would someone please explain in words of less than two syllables 
just what steps are required to use "dselect" ?? . I have followed 
the instructions in the manual at least 20 times so far but it seems 
there must be something more than "+ " and "-" involved in
selecting packages to install / uninstall that is probably trivial to
an expert but totally incomprehensible to a beginner :(
