This may not be for every user of the list but for those who wish to know more about how to use the 'net' there is a free course available by E-mail. I have included the blurb with this message along with the subscription info. I have subscribed to this course myself and find it very user friendly and informative. The quick start for this is to send a e-mail message to: [log in to unmask] Do NOT fill in the subject line and in the body of the message write: subscribe ROADMAP96 yourfirstname yourlastname Replace 'yourfirstname' 'yourlastname' with your own first name and last name. It's just that simple. ROADMAP96 http://www.ua.edu/~crispen/roadmap.html ROADMAP96 is a free, 27-lesson Internet training workshop designed to teach new "Net travelers" how to travel around the expanding Internet without getting lost. The original Roadmap workshop, which debuted in the Fall of 1994, rapidly became the most popular on-line Internet training workshop. ROADMAP96 is a completely revised and updated version of the original. The lessons are written primarily for people with accounts on command-line systems like UNIX, VAX, and VM, but everyone is welcome to participate. The entire ROADMAP96 workshop will take place on the ROADMAP96 mailing list, which is a distribution-only mailing list, not a discussion list. The workshop covers E-mail as well as Listservs, Majordomo, Listproc, and other e-mail distribution systems; Usenet; FTP; Archie; Gopher; Veronica; address searches; the Web; and many other topics. Since many Internauts have only e-mail access to the Internet, ROADMAP96 includes lessons on how to retrieve Internet resources offered via FTP, Archie, Gopher, and other methods. InterNIC Registration Services is now providing ROADMAP96 with a permanent home. To participate in one of the free workshop sessions, which start every two weeks, subscribe to the ROADMAP96 e-mail distribution list. HTML, ZIP, and SEA versions of all of the ROADMAP96 lessons will eventually be available on the ROADMAP96 homepage. Note: be careful to include the 96 at the end of ROADMAP, or the subscribe command will not work.
