Hiya, old son - long time since tuthernet days, eh? I don't know about
you big city fellas, but folks around here cut their teeth on my early
fidotech boards, and they most certainly speak dos and only dos
98.10221 per cent of the time.

I can't find "log" in my dos manual, and that's the problem. _I_
figured out what it meant, as have a few of my users, but the vast
majority hasn't. "CD" they might relate to, but "log" is a foreign
word..... "A)rea Change" gets immediate response :-)
