FYI y'all ... a cross-posting from the ALZHEIMER listserv. I've lurked both lists and found them informative. PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy), a PD+, shares symptoms with both diseases. To help the novice PARKINSN member, I recommend a periodic posting similiar to this for ALZHEIMER plus the database search primer already posted. Whaddya say list manager? =================================================================== A few reminders to help you navigate ALZHEIMER.... - help - unsubscribe - archive & information files - digest - send ALZHEIMER list a message ******************************************************************** HELP INFORMATION Sender: [log in to unmask] Precedence: bulk Reply-To: alzheimer To get a HELP message explaining majordomo commands, send to: [log in to unmask] the following one line command/message in the body: help ********************************************************************* UNSUBSCRIBING FROM ALZHEIMER To DELETE your subscription, FROM YOUR SUBSCRIBED ACCOUNT send a message to: [log in to unmask] with the following one line command/message in the body: unsubscribe ALZHEIMER ********************************************************************* ARCHIVE & INFORMATION FILES To get a list of the files in the ARCHIVE, send a message to: [log in to unmask] with the only line of the message being: index Then, to get a copy of one of the files, send a message to the same address, but this time request/send single line of message: get <filename> where <filename> is the file you want (e.g. alzheimer.9409 for Sept94 archive). Do NOT use brackets. ALZHEIMER is archived monthly, so archive file names are always alzheimer.two-digit-year-two-digit-month (e.g. alzheimer.9408 for Aug94) ************************************************************************ DIGEST ALZHEIMER is available in a weekly digest form, i.e., all the messages to ALZHEIMER for one week are accumulated into a single file and sent as one message each Monday. An automated index to messages is included at the top of this file to help you scan this single mailing. You can still send a message to ALZHEIMER (NOT the digest), including your responses to a message in the digest, but you will not see responses to your message until the following Monday. To subscribe to the weekly ALZHEIMER digest, you will want to both (1) unsubscribe from ALZHEIMER and then (2) subscribe to ALZHEIMER-digest. Send a single message with two lines/commands to: [log in to unmask] with the following two lines as the only text of the message: unsubscribe alzheimer subscribe alzheimer-digest ***************************************************************** SEND ALZHEIMER LIST A MESSAGE To send ALZHEIMER (i.e., everyone on the list) a message, mail to: [log in to unmask] ******************************************************************* Thanks!
