Re: LM_NET archives

Several of you asked for directions on accessing the archives after I
posted a question about how to do it.  Below is a copy of those
instructions which Melissa Davis, fellow LM_NETTER, kindly sent me.  I'm
keeping this message on my hard drive, just in case, and I've also printed
it out and tacked it up on the wall next to my computer.
