        That's  a good description one of the less offensive ones I've
     heard. ;-)

        I  used  to  teach  a  similar two-day class for AT&T for both
     their employees and clients.

        A fairly typical reaction. :-(

        Absolutely, I'm always glad to help.  I would just have to ex-
     plain that I code my HTML by hand and this is where I could be of
     most  help.   For  those  that use a Web-site building program --
     FrontPage, HoTMetaL, and the like -- I have  no  experience  with
     these  packages.   But,  I'm  sure the documentation will explain
     what you need to do to get it to add the META tags for you.

        Or,  you  could  take  the generated HTML file and add them by
     hand which is, again, where I would be of most help.

        Again,  always  glad  to help when and where I can.  Take care
     ...
