- This quick Gopher on-line help comes in handy when you forget how to move
- around "Gopherspace". You will note that there are several options
- offered to perform the same function. For example, to go down a page you
- can use the space bar, a greater than sign, the page down key or the plus
- sign. This again might depend on your system and terminal emulation you
- use--not all may work. You'll have to experiment. There are a few other
- things to note in help. Information on how to create a bookmark is useful
- and we'll be creating bookmarks later in this course. The equal sign
- gives technical information on Gopher items and that can come in
- handy. Also, information on how to quit and how to search for an item is
- given.
-
- This help screen goes beyond a computer one screen of information. When
- that happens you can either use the letter q to quit or hit the spacebar
- to get the next screen of information. When you get to the end of the
- document you must type q to quit.
-
- Gopher gives you several options when you get to the end of a document or item.
- You are given the following options:
-
- *****
- Press <RETURN> to continue, <m> to mail, <s> to save, or <p> to print:
- *****
-
- In this case I want to mail myself the Gopher Quick Help documentation. If I
- enter the letter "m" I'm asked for an Internet address.

- Gopher mails the help file to my Internet account at the University of
- Pittsburgh. I could send this file to any Internet e-mail account,
- something I will do on occasion when I'm asked for information and know I
- can find it in gopherspace. The mail facility is a handy way to send
- information that is out there on the Internet to other people with
- Internet e-mail addresses.
