Dear Skip Knox: You got me there! I wasnt thinking about history.
Even a seashell might be important to hisotry, a conch, a tally mark on
a conch, or am I talking archaeology? But I was thinking of the
literary texts. You see, Dear Skip Knox, at UCLA, History is under the
Dean of Social Sciences, and not Humanities, so I am a victim of
academic bureaux, or whatever the budget decrees next. My apologies to
you. I am a bit lax in my responses, but gadding about like a gadfly.

If Catherine Griffin can singlehandedly end one of my two biggest
gripes about Word Perfect I would be overjoyed: any way I can begin
to do global searches, etc., on footnotes would be a HUGE help.

Why only a positive view of computers in the classroom: ?
As previous postings on this list have rehearsed, there are many
drawbacks and difficulties associated with this activity that it would
be wrong to hide from potential participators or interested parties.
Only bibliographies with warts please !
