Thanks Bob for the info. Bookmarked both your URL's, but the 2nd one
only offered to "download a file and save to disk" which I did but
dont know if will be able to read the type text file that ensued.
I use a Commodore128 exclusively on the web, and with a cshell
type of acct I can only handle ASCII or HTML text files!

That's a zipped file (containing some text files, among others) so
unless you have some sort of expander you won't be able to read it.

Bob I did download the zipped folder but it messed up my
home dir and had to delete the whole thing. Will try the other
url you gave and see if any luck there. I did follow you advice
about TheNet by doing the following digi to digi.
:C maui (in cmd mode)
once connected to maui,
I did this
c mloa (thats another digi on big island alias mloa!!
Voila it worked. I did'nt have to revert to cmd mode with the : in fron
of the cmd. Just C mloa did the job.
So now if can find the alias for Oahu I can do that same proceedure.

A 'N' command should list any available nodes. I haven't talked through
a node for several years and my memory is a bit fuzzy, but there are
other useful commands as well. I put the 'user guide' document from
that zipped file on my ftp site and you can get it from the
ftp://n7xy.net/Thenet.txt
