----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I think this may be worth publicizing here to the mainframe and other users:

16-Nov-92 through 11-Dec-92
  "Navigating the Internet: An Interactive Workshop" is intended for
  new or infrequent users of the network of networks called the
  Internet. It is designed to give an overview of several operating
  systems used on the Internet and to give examples of the resources
  available over the Internet.

  The only requirements are that the user have access to the
  Internet and can read basic email. Unix, VMS, and VM will be the
  primary operating systems covered in the workshop.

  Participants will be sent instructions by email.

  A BITNET LISTSERV provided by the University at Buffalo will be
  used for interactive answering of questions and solving problems
  with additional help by email.
