"Welcome to the Machine" sessions are intended to let users have hands-on
experience with a terminal hooked to a UNIX machine, letting them learn
how to use e-mail and news.  Coverage is focused on elm for mail and nn
for news, but mailx, mush, and rn are also given some coverage.  Questions 
covered include: "How do I send e-mail?"; "How do I find addresses?";
"How do I send mail to CompuServe, MCI Mail, America Online, and/or 
FidoNet?"; and whatever else people come up with.

Different people learn different ways.  For every person who prefers to
have a manual to sit with and work through, there's at least another
person who would rather have a human to talk to.  We've found that it's
often productive to have someone be able to show exactly the steps that
they've taken rather than try to describe them over the phone.

Power users will probably be bored, but novice users will find the 
answers to many of their questions.  We welcome novices who are using
any UNIX machine, regardless of whether or not they use techbook.

Please bring paper, pencil and questions!
