G'day Andrae,
as a Newbie, I collect certain well explained, but basic, notes written
to the H-Gen list.
These I use as simple references, later on. This one will be added to
the others.

So, a really big thank you to you - and in fact - all of you who give so
much of your valuable time in writing and explaining these things that
matter so much to us.
The older blokes who have only recently started on computers, are so
much slower learners, you know!
