System name:		e40-008-7
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.3P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Read online help, selecting
        13,
        4,
        2 (SIPB document on discuss)

What's wrong:
	Says you can't read it with a terminal-based olh client; you
	have to use X-based client

What should have happened:
	A blind student at UCSC complains about this restriction, says
	the documentation should be readable by everyone (he uses the
	computers via an ASCII-to-voice unit).

	This isn't exactly MIT's problem; but I thought you might be
	interested in this unusual kind of complaint.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
