How to Use the Instructions
Many of the instructions include screen shots. These are to provide
a general guide to what things should look like. Often
the specific settings seen in the picture would prevent you from using
that program on your computer.
In order to make life a little easier, I've adopted some
conventions for common things:
- Bold: signifies a menu option at the top of the screen (like
Netscape has File, Edit, View, etc. across the
top) or something from Window 95's Start menu. For example...
- File--Open File is short for "go up to where
it says File; click on it; and select Open File from the
list that drops down."
- Start--Programs--Windows Explorer is
short for "go to Windows 95's Start button; select Programs
from the Start menu; and then select Windows Explorer from
the Program menu."
- Italics: signify a button that should be on the window. For
example: Click on the Back button at the top of the Netscape
window.
- "Quote Marks": typically signify a special section of a window that
the instructions currently explain. For example: Go down to the
"How I Dial" section...
- Differed text: signifies something that should be typed
in.

If you call in with a problem, you can greatly decrease the amount of time
needed to find the solution if (before you call) you are at your computer,
the computer is on and you know:
- the type of computer
- the operating system and (especially for Macs) the version
- the amount of RAM the computer has
- the brand and speed of the modem
- the version of the program (if you're having problems with a
program like Netscape or Eudora)
