Re: RC: Deleting

[Bette Lamore <woa@stormnet.com>]

Hi Maria
Highlight the messages you want to delete by depressing your left mouse
key and running your cursor over the message (it will be in a different
color now). Then you can either hit the delete key on top of your window
(Explorer and Navigator and most mail programs have them) or the delete
key on your computer keyboard, or  right click your mouse and go down to
delete on the menu that pops up and then left click when your cursor
reaches delete.
To save is more complicated but the same principle. Highlight the part
you want to save as described above then go to "File" and left click on
that, then left click on "Save as" then left click on "File" and type a
name in the flashing blank box that appears and then Remember where it
is saved or you'll never find it again (been there done that, although
you can run "Find" if you remember the name, etc.) You can chose where
to save it by going to the top box before you hit save and click on the
buttons to the immediate right  or to to the right of that one but here
we are getting really complicated so unless you have someone to help you
with that one I'd just remember where it is saved as noted in the top
box.
Are you thoroughly confused yet? If so you are not alone; I just started
taking courses in Windows a year and a half ago and still get baffled.
Call me if you want me to walk you through it. BTW I am assuming you
have windows as your operating program. If not, I would be at a loss,
too. Don't feel overwhelmed; here is my all time favorite story.

This is a true story from the WordPerfect help line.

Needless to say the help desk employee was fired;
however, he/she is
currently suing the WordPerfect organization for
"Termination without
Cause".

Actual dialogue follows......

Wordperfect Customer Support employee: "Ridge
Hall computer assistance; may
I help you?"

"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

"What sort of trouble?"

"Well, I was just typing along, and all
of a sudden the words went away."

"Went away?"

"They disappeared."

"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

"How do I tell?" "Can you see the C: prompt on the
screen?"

"What's a sea-prompt?"

"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on
the screen?"

"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept
anything I type."

"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

"What's a monitor?"

"It's the thing with the screen on it
that looks like a TV. Does it have a
little light that tells you when it's
on?"

"I don't know."

"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find
where the power cord
goes into it. Can you see that?"

"Yes, I think so."

"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's
plugged into the
wall."

".......Yes, it is."

"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice
that
there were two cables plugged into the back
of it, not just one?"

"No."

"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again
and find the other
cable."

"....... Okay, here it is." "Follow it
for me, and tell me if it's plugged
securely into the back of your
computer."

"I can't reach."

"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

"No." "Even if you maybe put your knee
on something and lean way over?"

"Oh, it's not because I don't have the
right angle - it's because it's dark."

"Dark?" "Yes -the office light is off, and the only light
I have is coming
in from the window."

"Well, turn on the office light then."

"I can't."

"No? Why not?"

"Because there's a power failure."

"A power... A power failure? Aha, Okay,
we've got it licked now. Do you still
have the boxes and manuals and packing
stuff your computer came in?"

"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

"Good. Go get them, and unplug your
system and pack it up just like it was
when you got it. Then take it back to
the store you bought it from."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it is."

"Well, all right then, I suppose. What
do I tell them?"

"Tell them you're too f------ stupid to own a
computer."


Happy New Year
