- Well I don't know how she is going to transfer Email to her offline email
- reader unless she uses Ami/TCP or Mlink. Thor is a good non-mui one that does
- email and usenet. For just email YAM is quick and easy plus its FREEware.
- You still need to setup Amitcp or Mlink though. BTW I really like YAM!

- >: also the hard drive has a problem in the startup script:
-
- >: instead of: assign blahblah: yackiti:shmakity
- >: it has : assin blahblah: yackiti:shmakity
-
- >: but this big 'oops' is way up in the script so the hard disk isn't being
- >: recognized, so she can't access it cause the script also fails at 20
- >: instead of 21 (ie Failat 20 not Failat 21)

- Try CTRL D as soon as you reset. This will halt the start up and drop you
- into shell. The type sys:c/ed sys:s/startup-sequence and fix the boo-boo.
- Save and exit and you should be ok.
