/usr/share/doc is usually where the Debian stuff is. Does newsletr exist as a Debian package? I run woody and I can't see one. Try: aptitude update && aptitude search newsletr If it's there, just install it. Perhaps there's a newsletr-doc package too? I would image using it is as simple as /documentclass{newsletr} or some such. btw, it's been a while since I used TeX/LaTeX, so I could be misinformed ... -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
