-
- I took the USER.DOC file and editted it down from 50K to 35K and
- named it NEWUSER.DOC. I tried to pare it down to just the
- basics, leaving only what I felt a newuser would need.
-
- I then added an \extern file that allows immediate ZMODEM download
- without having to navagate the FILES subsystem. Folks with
- terminal software having auto ZMODEM detection get the file
- easily.
-
- Splash and the sign-up screens notify the newuser of the
- existance of this \extern command.
