A new command called "last" has been installed.  It allows one to see
the duration of previous login sessions.  To use it, type "last" followed
by your login name.  For example,

	last david

would start printing my login sessions, most recent first.  When I had
seen enough, I would interrupt the printout by hitting DEL (or RUBOUT or
BREAK).  If I had wanted a printout of all my login sessions since the 
beginning of the month, I could have typed:

	last david | lpr

and waited a couple of minutes.  This command will replace the command
"lastlog".
