I find that Internet Guides are very well utilized through TSR (Terminate
and Stay Resident. . .i.e. run from RAM with hot keys to turn them on/ff)
With cut and paste options, you can actually enter the exact commands the
guides tell you, without any fear of mistakes. Of course, as others have
pointed out, multitasking is a fine way of doing this, too. . .but paper?
surely not, except for the cases where there is a single computer with no
TSR capability, not multi-anything.
