   system (a network of documents connected by links which can be activated 
   electronically). The WWW resource can be searched for keywords. The

   anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu in file

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to

	        http://uu-gna.mit.edu:8001/uu-gna/

   If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with

        	telnet info.cern.ch

   which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the
   simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the number
   given after an item. To go to the UU-GNA documents, enter

                   WELCOME TO THE GLOBEWIDE NETWORK ACADEMY

                                       
   GNA is a non-profit corporation incorporated in the state of Texas,
   affiliated with the Usenet University project.  Its long-term goal[1] is to
   create an fully accredited online university.  To reach this goal it has
   short term plans[2]for 1993-94.  Persons wishing to help should check the
   help wanted list[3].
   
  See here What's New[4] on the GNA Web.
  There is a GNA FAQ[5] and the GNA Directory[6].

* More on Browsing the Web
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   A very nice way of "browsing" through WWW uses X-based tools like "tkWWW" 
   or "NCSA Mosaic". For the latter, binaries for many platforms (ready for 
   use) and sources are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in 
   directory Web/Mosaic-binaries. For vt100 terminals there is a much-used 
   browser called "Lynx" which can be obtained by FTP from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu 
   in the pub/lynx directory. Emacs users will like the "W3" browser, FTP to 
   cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3.
     There is a FTP repository for browser software at info.cern.ch
   (including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0 and tkWWW).
     If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW
   documents by e-mail: send Email to test-list@info.cern.ch with one or
   more lines of the form

	     send [http-address]
   e.g. 
	     send http://uu-gna.mit.edu:8001/uu-gna/index.html

   at the bottom of the page you'll find all links of that document listed.   
   Your mail system must have a mail gateway to internet mail.
