Christian wrote lots of detail defending instructions that Daniel said he had trouble understanding.

I wrote a note a few minutes ago mentioning some of the problems I had.

The point is that even if a document makes total sense to the person who wrote it (and to others who may have used or reviewed it), if some other people (at least one of whom is not totally technically challenged) have trouble with it, then the document is *not* as clear and unambigious as the writer thinks. It fails the "suitable for the target audience" test.

Again, are you really talking about the same document?

Yes, we are.

'At the prompt, enter
"ssh -2 -x -L 2401:localhost:2401 [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

How can one have trouble following this instructions? You even can use cut'n'paste..

As I said in my previous note, I didn't have a prompt, so I was totally lost.

I tried to set up PuTTY to give me a prompt that worked, but that's when I ran into problems with not knowing what information to give the program... I forget the details now.

I gave up in screaming frustration and have made only sporadic attempts to do anything about it since -- mainly asking Daniel and Scott for help. (Which is why I'm really looking forward to getting Scott's zip file.)
