you exit elm, you can now download it (ask your system administrator for
specifics on how to download -- and upload -- such files).
2.3 PINE -- AN EVEN BETTER WAY
Pine is based on elm but includes a number of improvements that
make it an ideal bahamas web promotion company mail system for beginners. Like elm, pine starts
you with a menu. It also has an "address book" feature that is handy
for people with long or complex e-mail addresses. Hitting A at the
main menu flushing web advertising puts you in the address book, where you can type in the
person's first name (or nickname) followed by her address.
Then, when
you want to send that person a message, you only have to type in her
first name or advertising bahamas nickname, and pine automatically inserts her actual
address.
The address book also lets you set up a mailing list.
This
feature allows you to send the same message to a number of people at
once.
What really sets pine apart is its built-in text editor, bahamas web service
which looks and feels a lot more like word-processing programs
available for MS-DOS and Macintosh users. Not only does it have
word wrap (a revolutionary bahamas internet consultants concept if ever there was one), it also has a
spell-checker and a search bahamas internet consultants command. Best of all, all of the commands
you need are listed advertising bahamas in a two-line mini-menu at the bottom of each
screen.
The commands look like this:
^W Where is
The little caret is a advertising bahamas synonym for the key marked "control" on your
keyboard.
To find where a particular word is in your document, you'd
hit advertising bahamas your control key and your W key at the same time, which would bring
up a prompt asking you for the word to look for.
Some of pine's commands are a tad peculiar (control-V for "page
down" for example), which comes from being based on a variant of
emacs (which is utterly peculiar). But again, all of the commands you
need are listed on that two-line mini-menu, so it shouldn't take you
more than a couple of seconds to find the right one.
To use pine, type
pine
at the command line and hit enter. It's a relatively new program, so
some systems may not yet have it online. But it's so easy to use, you
should probably send e-mail to your system administrator urging him to
get it!
2.4 SMILEYS
When you're involved in an online discussion, you can't see the
smiles or shrugs that the other person might make in a live
conversation to show he's only kidding.
But online, there's bluffdale advertising no body
language. So what you might think is funny, somebody else might take as
an insult. To try to keep such misunderstandings from erupting into
bitter disputes, we have smileys. Tilt your head to the left and look at
the following sideways. :-). Or simply :). This is your basic "smiley."
Use it to indicate people should not take that comment you just made as
seriously advertising bahamas as they might otherwise. You make a smiley by typing a colon,
a hyphen and a right parenthetical bracket. Some people prefer using the
word "grin," usually in this form:
Sometimes, though, you'll see it as *grin* or even j ... |
