I am trying to post some announcements for the Student
Art Association, and I'm finding it frustrating.
For one thing I can't seem to find the 'Meta-' key that
works with posting an article. I want to include a file.
I've tried <compose character>-i, <compose character>-I,
<F11>-i, <F11>-i, and pounding on the keyboard with my
fist. Nothing seems to work. I am on a regular VAXstation
2000 in the student center cluster; nothing exotic about
that.
Also, I posted some stuff on Wed., and none of the
contents of my postings appeared - just the header and
a spacer line that looked like '====='. Are there some
rules I should know, like no blank lines in a posting,
or no lines that begin with <tab>?
Finally, I would often like to use rn instead of xrn
because it is faster. But about 75% of the time I try to
run it, I get a message like "rn stopped. tty out". can
you tell me what is wrong here? do I need some more junk
in "." files? Also, it there an Athena dialup number?
Thank you,
Lee Campbell
