At the suggestion of one of our members, I am posting the guide for the
PARKINSN's list.

                       The PARKINSN Guide

HOW TO POST A MESSAGE TO PARKINSN:

     send mail message to:   parkinsn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

     When you post a message, it is helpful if you
     sign it and add your email address.  As example:

       Barbara Patterson (patterso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

     Many PARKINSN subscribers have mail headers which don't
     display the origin of the note.

HOW TO INTERACT WITH THE LISTSERVER:

     To talk to the listserver, you want to send mail to the
     LISTSERVER, not to everyone on PARKINSN.  Send a regular
     mail message to:

              listserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

     and in the body of the note, use any of the following
     commands:

NOTE:  Don't include the explanatory comments in (   ) below.

SUBscribe PARKINSN Yourfirstname Yourlastname (Join the list)

UNSUBscribe PARKINSN (Leave the list. Your name is not required)

REView PARKINSN     (Who else is on this list?  Get a list of
                    subscribers' names and email addresses)

SET PARKINSN NOREPro (Set it back to NOT getting a copy of your
                      own mail)

SET PARKINSN DIGests (You get the day's mail in one large note
                      with a table of contents, rather than note
                      by note.  A good option if you don't
                      like dealing with large quantities of
                      incoming mail.)

SET PARKINSN NOMAIL      (Temporarily stop getting mail from
                         PARKINSN.  You're still subscribed.
                         Useful when going on vacation)

SET PARKINSN MAIL   (Start your PARKINSN mail coming again, or if
                    your mail= option is set to DIGests, start
                    your mail coming note by note again)

ABOUT ARCHIVES:
     All contributions to PARKINSN are automatically archived
every month.  You can get these archive files by requesting the
log file you want.  As example, to get the September and October
1993 logfiles, you would send a message to the LISTSERVER and in
the body of the note, you would say:

GET PARKINSN LOG9309
GET PARKINSN LOG9310

Additionally, the PARKINSN archives reside on the University of
Toronto gopher and can be viewed and retrieved from that site.

     For those of you who can gopher, at your system prompt type:

          gopher vm.utcc.utoronto.ca

               then choose #17 - LISTSERV archives
