FINGER.HLP
==========

USAGE
 F[inger] [<user_name>][@<host>]

DESCRIPTION
 The finger command retrieves  personal information about users of a
 system.  When used by itself, a list of known  users on the current
 system will be displayed. When a user_name is added to the command,
 finger will display information about that particular user.

 The same functions  detailed above  may be  performed on some other
 TCP/IP host connected to the network. Just add the "@<host>" to the
 finger command as specified in the usage line above.  To get a list
 of the  users on a  remote  system, enter  "finger"  followed  by a
 <SPACE> and an "@", then the host name.  To get information about a
 remote user, simply insert the user name before the "@".

EXAMPLES
 finger           (list the known users on this system)
 f frank          (list info about the local user "frank")
 f @ns9liz        (list the known users at host "ns9liz")
 f ken@ns9ken     (display info about "ken" at host "ns9ken")
