TECH: Pine, SlipKnot, WWW etc.

[Shelley Lochhead <s_lochhead@MENTOR.UNH.EDU>]

Good news for Sanda and Debbie, and all others looking for technical help.
The new edition of our Skills Index will be out by the end of this week,
and it has been substantially revised to include the direct-connect
applications and connection tools many of us are now using.

Sanda:  look in your skills index now for help with Pine.  The PINE section
follows the general email section.  Lost the index?  Email me for help.

Debbie:  hang on for a few days.  The new skills index will include at
least one SlipKnot maven for you!

And to you other techies who may be reading this, why not fill out our new
skills index application?  You, too, could be someone's hero....

Here comes the application - fill it in now, eh? -
