If I *REALLY* wanted to waste countless hours roaming through half-a-dozen levels of computer-generated mazes in search of some final answer, I'd play Zork. I do *NOT* have countless hours to waste roaming through half-a-dozen levels of computer-generated mazes in search of the answer to a question about how to use a program. With man, I can hit "/" (the slash key) and type in a character string to look for, and the entire document gets searched in a second. None of this crap of looking through multiple levels. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Email users are divided into two classes; 1) Those who have effective spam-blocking 2) Those who wish they did -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
