        Hi Steve,

        Several years back I was lead-writer on the "AnswerMan" help
        column.  It was directed mostly at new users of the BSD's and
        aimed primarily at FreeBSD.  We published several tutorial-like 
        Q's and A's bi-monthly.   Were heading into our 7th  year before
        the column fell apart.

        Long-story-short, all the contributors gave permission to re-use
        the contents, so feel free to google up the stuff and use what you
        deem usable.

        cheers,

        gary kline
