- I know it's a cheap flame, but have you heard of these nifty programs called
- 'window managers'? They do really neat things like iconifying windows and moving
- them out of the way and hiding them under other windows and all sorts of other
- things like that! ;-)

- But to be serious, I suppose I really need to put in something to unmap the motd
- window and show some help about what to do with it: i.e. how to save the motd
- to a file ( Yes, you can do that! hit 'S'!) page forward and back, and such.
-
- And I'd hoped to get back to server hacking. Sigh...
