This document provides information about such programs used on the
Internet, such as Pine, Lynx, and others. You may obtain the latest
copy of this document, by loging on to our Web site to get the
latest files.

We will be adding information to this file as we receive it. If you
have information or helpfull hints to help everyone, please pass
them along to us, and we'll include them in this file along with
your name.

Many of you are new to the Internet such as we are, therefore, we
are gathering information to pass along to you. Many thanks to all
of you, for the information you have provided us.

You will find several asterisks between netnotes so you will know
where each one ends, and the next one begins.

********************
LYNX USING NUMBERS: It is possible to  have lynx say the links as
numbers so you don't have to worry about where  the cursor is.
instead, you type in the number of the link you want and  then
enter to follow the link you chose.  To set lynx to do this: 1.
type  lynx from your unix prompt. 2. type o for options. 3. type k
for key pad.  4. hit any key to togle to "say links as numbers."5.
hit enter to accept  change. 6. type greaterthan sign (shift
period) to save the change.  Henceforth: anytime you use lynx the
links will be spoken in number form.  it makes it really easy to
get around.     Peggy Fleischer.

Lynx  and your editor: When you do not have pico in your lynx set
up in editor there is no line wrap from your customers. it is a
long string like this one...So next time tell your customers to go
into there lynx setup by pressing o  then e for editor then type
pico then press > to save. From Pierre Berube.

We received the following internet note from the author of
"Internet In A Macro". This is self-explanatory.

********************
If you use Commo with a Unix shell account, you may be interested
in Internet in a Macro.  This Commo macro will let you go to
internet sites, connect to IRC, send mail using an address book,
and use simple Unix file commands all from a simple,
speech-friendly menu-driven interface.  The built-in site database
is editable and the interface for connection to any type of site is
similar to Gopher.   To get the latest version, FTP to ordata.com
and go to the directory /pub/msdos/comm/COMMO (COMMO is in all
caps).  The filename is inetm###.zip where ### represents the
version number.   Download the file to your computer using sz. 
After unzipping the file, type inetinst and hit return.  This is
the interactive installation program.  Then read inet_mac.doc and
experiment to learn how to use the program.   If you find any bugs
or have a feature idea, send it to jmeddaug@cris.com.

THE END J.J. Meddaugh - Jmeddaug@cris.com Author of INternet in a
Macro The latest version is 1.11.  Get it via FTP at ordata.com in
/pub/msdos/comm/COMMO/inetxxxx.zip where xxxx is the version
number. For support, write me or subscribe to the Commo mailing
list.

******************** 
LYNX: First before you use Lynx, you may need to tell it to "show"
the PC cursor. Here is what you must do. Type lynx -show_cursor
then tell lynx where you want to go. example: lynx -show_cursor
http://www.basec.net/~fergent enter. You may have to do this each
time you use Lynx, or you can have your provider set it up for you
automatically so it's always shoing the PC cursor.

If you want to set up Lynx so you can automatically have the Pico
editor working. Just go into Lynx, and do the following.

o for options, e for editor, type in Pico, no caps, then the
greater than sign which is the shift on the period, and enter. This
will save your changes to Lynx. Any time you make a change in Lynx,
save it with the greater than sign.

Please remember there are more than one version of Lynx on the
internet. An earlier version may work different. from Pat Ferguson

     when that is done hit q for quit.
     
You will be back at your internet promt. 

To make sure you have the file hit ls to list out your files in
your home directory the file should be there.

If the file is not there. you have exceed your alotment megabytes
in your home directory. Remove files you  do not want and the file
that you download will then have room to get to your mail address.

Then from your home directory, type the following at the Unix

dollar sign, type
4: sz file name file type enter. This is the Send zmodem command

Then you can read them with Readit, and you can even take them into
WordPerfect, as I have done many times. It's so easy to write the
messages off line, then copy them to your upload directory, then
when you get on the Internet just type the following:

In some cases, depending on version of rz in which your providor
uses, if you are uploading a compressed file, it is treated as a
binary file, and you must use the RZ -EV command in lower case,
then enter and continued as follows.

1: rz -ev enter

copy directly from your upload directory with your
telecommunications program with the ASCII upload command. This will

the ASCII upload command in Commo. Be sure you are in your message
text in Pine.
