Quick hint... Some find it awkward using "public" computers while they're travelling because they miss the links, passwords, and pages stored on their home system. Use one of the web based E-mail providers and before leaving home, mail yourself the stuff you'll want. That'll leave you with only your own E-mail account to remember. I use hotmail.com and I find it works OK. Be sure to select "Public Computer for Added Security" when you log in. Cheers, PW. P.S. Return key... On a typewriter, the Carriage Return first ratchets the paper up. Once the paper is advanced, the carriage travels to allow the typeing to continue at the left margin. On a PC, the Enter key causes an ASCII 13, CR, or Carriage Return character to be delivered. The Line Feed, LF, or ASCII 10, is often appended to the CR. Observe that on the mechanical typewriter, the LF action preceeds the CR, while on a PC, the LF follows the CR. Systems vary. To accomodate the variety available, software allows users to configure their files. In Microsoft Word, for example, click Save As..., and in the Save as box, examine the choices offered for Save as type.. In addition to the usual word document types you'll see: Text Only Text Only with line breaks MS-DOS Text MS-DOS Text with line breaks Rich Text Unicode These choices handle CR and LF in different ways. A test... Write a short file, maybe a paragraph, or a half dozen lines long, and save it in each of file type formats supported. Open a DOS window and use the TYPE command to display the file. You can see the same data display in different formats.
