I didn't mean to suggest that you need to know windows before learning GNU/Linux. In fact, I think you would be better off that way, because you wouldn't bring your windows misconceptions with you into GNU/Linux. If someone can tell me how to turn on line wrap in emacs, that would help with the one-line posts when I forget to tap the enter key. While we're on mutt, could you please consider upgrading it on speakup.octothorp.org Bill? Thanks. Greg On Sun, Sep 15, 2002 at 01:36:32PM -0600, William F.
