=====================================================

For seasonal holiday reading you might to check the immortal archives of
the XYwrite for old clues, tips, debates and general trivia. The list
below are text files, not program files. The latter, program files, you
get via ftp from the other FTP address as Sivin has given you.

The files below are archived mail files that come to you as e-mail. See
the list server commands below the list for some instructions. You don't
mail to the XY list but to the separate robot that handles the list:
	LSTSRV@xxxxxxxx or Mjd@xxxxxxxx
in the message, (subjects are ignored), you put:
	get xywrite catalog.doc
for example.

Wait a few seconds and your mail will have the file retrieved. The
command get etc is put on the first line of the message. You may want a
second line of 'end' if your mailer puts a signature on the message.

Obviously you are not going to read all the messages in the archive but
are going to skim the messages for such lines as "Subject:" then clip and
cut and paste relevant details.
