Tunneling through Gopherspace

	Gopher was the first popular Internet information browser.
When you select gopher, you're presented with a menu of options.  You
can choose an option via the arrow keys, or by just typing the number.
If an option ends in "/", it's another menu.  You can keep following
these menus, conceiveably forever, and just explore.  By moving from
menu to menu, you're often seamlessly moving from computer to compuer,
literally all over the world.  At any time, you can press the left
arrow to go back to wherever you came from.

	If you find a page in gopherspace you find particularly
intriguing, you can press "a", to add it to your bookmark file.  This
will be permanently saved, so that when you come back another day, you
can just press "v" to view bookmarks, and jump right to your favorite
spot.  

	One option you might run across frequently is "Veronica".
Veroinica is a search engine.  You tell veronica what you want to look
for, and she runs off and checks every cubbyhole in gopherspace, and
brings back a menu of places where you can find what you're looking
for.  Searches sometimes time out because too many people are using
the search engine, so please be paitent, or select a different
Veronica server.  

	If you like Gopher, you might also want to give the World Wide
Web (Lynx) a try.

	**Note** You MUST be using a VT100 terminal emulation to use
Gopher.  In fact, we recommend that you use a VT100 emulation whenever
you call this system.  If you find that the arrow keys on your
computer do not do what they should, there is a good chance that your
VT100 emulation does not handle the arrow keys correctly.  If this is
the case, feel free to send mail to help, and we will do what we can
to help you get things working properly
