	Hi Steve,

	Several years back I was lead-writer on the "AnswerMan" help
	column.  It was directed mostly at new users of the BSD's and
	aimed primarily at FreeBSD.  We published several tutorial-like 
	Q's and A's bi-monthly.   Were heading into our 7th  year before
	the column fell apart.

	Long-story-short, all the contributors gave permission to re-use
	the contents, so feel free to google up the stuff and use what you
	deem usable.

	cheers,

	gary kline
