I just typed 'show' at the olcr> prompt, and it gave me a couple
paragraphs of user reply from a question I was working on two days
ago, along with the reply from the user I'm really connected to.

I haven't yet tried to debug my program yet but that may take
some time. Sorry about that, but this olc environment doesn't
let you go back up to change mistakes.
In any case, I'm pretty sure that I will be able to debug
it myself once I refamiliarize myself with the syntax, especially
since the compiler messages seem pretty specific.
Do you program in C? I was trying to learn, since I didn't
realize that athena supported Pascal, but I was unable to find
good documentation which tells me the syntax for the type of
structures I am using : two dimensional arrary, records and
others. I also use case statements and pointers, but I was not
able to locate good reference materials in Hayden. What can I
do?

I'm not connected to 'bird', but I am connected to 'debbo'. When I
type 'replay' I only get the correct information. bird doesn't even
have a question in OLC at the moment.
