How to know latest way of doing things?

was semimanually entering. How is a newby to know that "adduser" is preferable to "useradd" when a "man user" just pops both out?

Re: network problem?

Re: Enter mail, end with a single ".".

nd goes, but the second (or last?) buffer just sits there because nobody did a flush or set the "push flag" (never mind, you gotta be a real TCP/IP weenie to know what the push flag is all about). If you have the source code to the program "writing" the mail message could
