SUMMARY: You can easily join the ASSIST distribution list,
set up to enable computer users to get and give help to
other computer users...
 
------------------------------------------------
 
I've set up a 'self managing' distribution list that is
intended to make the keen computer users even more keen and
capable!  Once you have subscribed to the list you'll
receive a text file telling you about the list, how to post
to it and how you can use it to ask for assistance, or to
help others by answering their questions...
 
Many of us will in the course of the day say something like
"I can't remember the shortcut key for indenting a
paragraph" or "How would you write an Excel formula to count
the number of students on a list" or "I've just received an
attachment and I don't know how to read it".
 
By sending a question out 'to the list', you just might be
surprised at how many knowledgeable people we have out there
on the staff, and you will hopefully get a polite, useful
answer in a minimum of time!
 
Try it for awhile - it will probably take a few weeks to get
working effectively, and if you don't like it, what have you
lost?  You can always UNSUBSCRIBE!
 
To SUBSCRIBE?  Send an email message addressed to ASSIST and
put the word SUBSCRIBE in the Subject: line...
