Learn the Net v1.1
by Stuart Shaw

Hello everybody,
Thank you for taking the time for reading this Doc.

Before we start I would ask you to do all the Lessons in the correct order.

When you have read a Paragraph over 3 lines press Enter.
If it is not over 3 lines it will carry on itself

Feel Free to pass this programme onto your friends

Please do not use the peoples nicknames on IRC.

All the information which you see with a "!" at the start is not shown on the Internet, it is telling you what to put in.

The best internet provider for Atari is Demon.
Get all your Software from BBS's or from PD Library's.
I think Ad-Lib has Oasis.

On the Internet I use Oasis version 1.35E, Cab (the Web Browser) and STiK (to dial).
I don't use Oasis 2 because it is very unstable.

The best maganzine to buy for Lists of prices and phone numbers for internet Providers is .Net

THE PROGRAMME

This programme is very simple.
All you need to do is to just click on what you want to do on the Menu.
Please do the Lessons in order.

I'll explain what each menu does

FILE

QUIT

This will quit the programme (I bet you didn't know that!)

LESSONS
-------
IRC
---

This teaches you all about IRC which is Chat.
It also shows you some cool commands.

FTP
---

This will teach you about FTP which allows you to upload and download.
You will be shown a FTP site.
One thing which is missing is how to upload.
To do this you put PUT "filename"
That is how you do it in NOS

EMAILS
------

This just quickly explains emails.
Which are letters

NEWSGROUPS + NOS
----------------

This explains about Nos which is a way to get onto the Internet.
I use Nos a lot.

And last but not least...

WEB
---

This teaches you about the Web. It doesn't show you a web page.
All it is text in this lesson.
In the next issue it will tell you how to make a web page.
##
PRINTOUT
--------

This option prints out the sections on underneath it.
It asks you first incase you hit the mouse on that option.

SCREENOUT
--------

This Option puts on the Screen what is printed out by Print out.

THE AUTHOR
----------

Thats me. Well I'm called Stuart Shaw and on IRC I'm on #atari called Stu.

I'm a mad Trekker and live in England

OTHER PROGRAMMES BY STUART
--------------------------

Well my other programmes include:

The Simpsons Disk Mag

Number 1 should be relased before 1997 and Number 2 will be out in 1997

Learn The Net v2
--------------

There should be another issue Learn the Net which will include

some more IRC tricks and how to Upload on a FTP site.
If a new NOS is out I will also put that in.
