Dear Colleague: As of today, you have been added to the REED-L discussion group under the userid to which this message has been sent. The purpose of this group is to foster discussion of early English drama, music, folk customs, and the myriad of other activities documented in REED volumes. This list, however, is not meant to be limiting: we hope that those with interests in early drama, art, and music elsewhere will also contribute from their perspectives. If you have colleagues with e-mail capacity who might be interested in such discussions, please pass the word to him or her to contact me at [log in to unmask] To take part in these discussions, you need only send your contribution via your local version of MAIL, NOTE, or SENDFILE to [log in to unmask] All submissions are automatically distributed to the list members. If you have a long announce- ment, review, or other contribution you wish to submit, please send it directly to me at [log in to unmask] so that I can put it on the fileserver. Then submit a short precis to the discussion list. Eventually, I hope that this associated fileserver will contain announcements of interest to friends of REED and the PLS theatre company. At the moment, however, that possibility is still being discussed, and the fileserver will only contain the automatic monthly logs of all postings to the discussion. If you are interested in knowing what our most recent discussions have been about, you may want to request the most recent monthly logs from LISTSERV at UTORONTO. Information on how to use LISTSERV, including how to send messages and request files, can be had by sending these interactive commands to [log in to unmask]: 1 tell listserv at utoronto info pres OR tell listserv at utoronto info gen 2 tell listserv at utoronto info files If your system does not support interactive commands, use your local NOTE or SENDFILE commands to send a message to [log in to unmask] whose only text is: info pres OR info gen info files Note that these administrative messages go to the LISTSERV and not to REED-L! Because all submissions to REED-L are automatically sent out to the list members, it is very important that your userid and nodename be accurate and up-to-date. If there are any changes, please send me a note of them right away. Yours, Abigail Ann Young, listowner Records of Early English Drama, Victoria College, University of Toronto, 150 Charles St. W, Toronto, Canada M5S 1K9, (416) 585 -4504 [log in to unmask]
